Which as you point out, indicates that XSLT has no means of using keys (simply) on idrefs, to find 'reverse' links. I don't particularly like the use of string routines in attributes to achieve this, I wonder if this drives an XSLT 2 request? Either to extend the key function in some way to handle idrefs, or to permit a key definition to take in all attributes of type idrefs? (I could see the problem where I have a CDATA attribute with spaces, but surely idrefs are a bit special?)
