Re: xsl:key match all values

Hmmmm... a thought:

Might a variable serve as a shortcut to a pre-selected result of data?

I get it : )

I thought you probably would. (Sometimes with keys it helps to jiggle them
a little.)

I wish there was a way to do this without being forced to provide the
"1" in the 2nd argument of the xsl:key statement.  Errr.... but that's
ok.

I take it you mean in the key() function not the xsl:key declaration ...
well, in real life that '1' will usually be a bit of XPath, such as '@t'
(the value of the t attribute of the context node). The function could have
been designed to provide a default value for that argument, but it's not
clear what that default should be. (The value of the context node? But
that's rarely what we actually need.) So it's not a bad thing on balance, I
think, that the argument is required.

Cheers,
Wendell
