Michael's expression was equivalent to the one I suggested, in both cases $docs could be a variable of that name or any xpath expression that returned a sequence of document nodes, so for exanple <xsl:variable name="docs" select="doc('a.xml'),doc('b'xml')"/> or <xsl:variable name="docs" select="for $d in //link/@href return doc(concat($d,'.xml')"/> or whatever else you need. > For the sake of my greater understanding - is there some fundamental > reason why this is the case? I'd guess it's really just an efficiency issue, the system only needs to index documents on which key() is called. If calling key() could access any document known to the system, then the system would have to index all documents if the stylesheet used key at all. david ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
