This was working well in xalan, albeit slow:
Then this was a bug in that specific version of Xalan.
main stylesheet:
<xsl:variable name="doc"
select="document('HostAdminFormDefinitions.xml')"/>
imported stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="my:form[(_at_)name=$doc//form/@name]">
.. merge doms..
</xsl:template>
Switching over to Saxon gives the error:
"The match pattern in xsl:template may not contain references to
variables"
Is there another way?
Yes, use:
<xsl:template match="my:form">
<xsl:if test="@name=$doc//form/@name">
.. merge doms..
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helped.
