match="Keys/key" matches any key element under any Keys element.
You could use match="/A/Keys/key" to match from the root, or a better
thing to do I think, might be put Keys in its own namespace.  Keep in
mind that an implementation is very likely to precompute some sort of hash
table so that it can resolve the key lookup -- I *assume* that would mean
it's probably pretty safe not to worry about where the keys are defined
in the document.
