I think <xsl:with select="..."> is an elegant rewrite of for-each. It does make me wonder whether it would earn brownie points or penalties in Gerrit's highly opiniated book.

Yes, an xsl:with-context-item select=.... would be clearer. Wkether it's worth increasing the size of the language for it is a judgment call that's a little harder, i think.
Best,
Liam
