How do I access the 'date1' from the original source tree,
now that I'm processing the external document 'AddNews.xml'?
i.e, change context from one document to another?
Bind a variable to the original context before calling document(), and
then use path expressions that start with that variable:
<xsl:variable name="d" select="."/>
...
<xsl:value-of select="$d/x/y/z"/>
