Like Mike Kay reminded us a while ago, a case where xsl:for-each is real nice and useful (even if its name is misleading there) is to change the context node such as in: <xsl:for-each select="document('doc.xml')> <xsl:apply-templates select="id($key)"/> </xsl:for-each> This can be done using a template, but it's much more verbose...
