Got it... you suck the states into the stylesheet using the document()
function... and then parse away.
Thanks!

<xsl:variable name="state-xml" select="document('states.xml')/states"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<select name="states-dropdown">
<xsl:for-each select="$state-xml/state">
<option value="{(_at_)abbr}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></option>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
