Re: [xsl] combining multiple documents

[Steven Ericsson-Zenith <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before I run off to test if parameter passing will meet my need let me  
ask an obvious question. By their nature keys can contain multiple  
elements. My example was meant to illustrate the passing of sets of  
such elements not individual elements.

Your proposed solution allows me only to pass one element of the key,  
when I want the entire contents of the key. Is there something I missed?

With respect,
Steven
