RE: Can't get id() and key() to work


But I hope that XSLT 2 solves these problems. It would really 
be nice if one could pass the context into key() and id().

Yes, XSLT 2.0 allows you to write

select="document('a.xml')/id('I0001')"

or 

select="document('a.xml')/key('k', 'I0001')"

In fact it allows the operands of "/" to be any expressions that return
node-sequences.

You can use this today using Saxon 7.2.
