2. Would it be possible for exp2 to contain a reference to a
locally defined xsl:variable (not a top-level one)?
No, the xsl:sort-key element is top-level, so there will be no
locally-defined variables in scope. Do you have a use case where this
creates a problem?
I think that such is any case of xsl:sort with (a combination of)
parameters, e.g.:
<xsl:sort select="a/b/*[name() = $byName]" order="$order"/>
where the parameters are set in the calling template.
