In theory, in general, yes, but in practice there are usually characters that can not be, or extremely unlikley to be, in the attribute. For example if the attributes are ID they can not have letters that are not in XML names, for example |, of if the markup is in a general natural language document it's unlikely to have unassigned private use characters such as 􀀀 which can be useful as delimiters. Or of course you can use 2 keys. <xsl:key match="name" use="string-join((@oid, @parent-oid), '|')"/> ... key('name',string-join((@oid, ../@oid), '|')) could be instead: <xsl:key match="namea" use="@oid"/> <xsl:key match="nameb" use="@parent-oid"/> ... key('namea',@oid) intersect key('nameb',../@oid) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
