What do you need to know?
A key in Saxon is implemented as a hash table, that maps key values to
lists of nodes having that value. The hash table is built (for a
particular document) the first time the key() function is executed for
that key against that document. There are some subtleties involving the
use of weak references from the compiled stylesheet and the source
document to ensure that the hash table is garbage collected when either
the compiled stylesheet or the source document is discarded from memory.
