RE: Using the document function

... I had 
expected to be able to use <xsl:variable name="file1" 
select="document ('filename1')"/>, etc.  in my XSLT 
stylesheet with the file name determined by the values in the 
xml file. This apparently will not work since the URI value 
for filename cannot be assigned at run-time. 

You can use a variable or parameter as the argument of document(), like
this:

<xsl:variable name='fileurl' select='"file:///d:\test\xsl\a.xml"'/>
<xsl:variable name='file' select='document($fileurl)'/>

You could pass in the file names you want to use as parameters.  

Cheers.
