I think the reason nobody has done this yet is because it *is* possible to 
simulate the behaviour of xsl:with with the XPath you gave.  XSLT has a very 
minimal set of functions, and the working group hardly ever adds anything 
unless there is absolutely no way to do something any other way.

xsl:for-each might look like a misnomer in your code, but unfortunately as 
long as the above XPath works, you won't find many people willing to make a 
new construct in the language.
