Bummer.  Well, in the meantime, I can get around this quirk by using basic
node-set selects, as in:

    <xsl:value-of select="entries/entry[@key=$dataKey]" />

I'm not translating a large amount of values so the performance hit won't be a
big issue.  Configurability (e.g., passing the lookup table to the stylesheet
as a parameter) is a higher priority than translation speed.

We can migrate to XSLT 2.0 early next year when we have another major release
scheduled for our software.

Thanks again for a quick response.
