<Woman name="Alice" birth="1955-10-26"/>

To cut a long story short, I have an xsl template which scopes Woman,
and I want to set a variable to be that Woman's husband (ie the Man for
whom the Woman is the wife). I've come up with the following method:
Is there a more compact way (especially since I would want to access the
birth attribute too)? I thought something along the lines of the
following might work, but I couldn't figure out how.
Hi,
'xsl:key' was made for this:
Try this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:key name="husband" match="Man" use="@wife"/>
<xsl:template match="Woman">
<xsl:value-of select="key('husband',@name)/@birth"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
(will return the husband's birthday)
regards,
