No there are other errors as well, and they may be the cause of the
problem, which is why I highlighted them, but you seemed to take offence
to that.

There are three errors in that last line, two are syntax errors that
would be reported by the xslt system (so I assume they are not in your
real code) so perhaps you had

<xsl:variable name="Definitions" select="document(Disabilities.xml)"/>

If so then the argument of document() is the node set of elements with
name Disabilities.xml which is empty so $Definitions will be empty which
may well cause you to not get the result you expect

or perhaps you had

<xsl:variable name="Definitions" select="document('Disabilities.xml')"/>

how are we to know?
