Anyone had similar problem and had a more elegant solution? You could skip straight to Saxon 7.4: XSLT 2.0 allows global variables to appear in key definitions, provided there are no circularities (i.e., the variables must not be defined in terms of the key). For an XSLT 1.0 solution, I think you've identified the only thing possible.
