Re: [xsl] xsl:key on variable containing result of apply-templates

[Grainne Reilly <greilly1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Joerg for your reply.
In trying to isolate the problem (and maybe show too much of what I had 
tried) I was not clear enough that I do a lot of processing, creation of 
elements, attributes etc. in order to create the node-set I'd like to key on.
As a result I cannot use an XPath as the match for the key.  My real xml is 
an XML spreadsheet and you would not like to see the real xslt template :-)
So my question remains if it is possible to create a key on the result of 
apply-templates (using an extension function perhaps)?  Since xslt does not 
permit the use of a variable reference in the match attribute of the 
xsl:key element, I am less than hopeful that there is.
Grainne.
