I wanted to match all the titles in all documents under nsindex using the
same xsl:key statement. For example, if i had 4 files with one title in each
which started with the letter A, i would want the statement <xsl:for-each
select="key('cat-by-firstocc', A)"> to go through all of those documents.
you can't have a single key lookup that covers more than one document.
xsl:key applies to all documents but each is indexed separately and
key() just returns nodes from the current document.
so you need to go
<xsl:for-each select="some path that selects at least one node from each
document">
... select="key(...
Often this isn't quite the semantic that you want, but it's the semantic
that you get:-)
