I hope this message gets to the list, cause my last fews 
seems that don't. 
You last message got there (twice), but for some reason no-one answered it.
What are the consequences of a construction like this in terms of
performance, and what about coding style?
I'm creating a table like this where diasemana.xml is a xml
representation of week days:
                      <table id="{$t}" border="1">
                              <th>Processo</th>
                              <xsl:for-each 
select="document('diassemana.xml')/dias/dia">
                                      <th>
                                              <xsl:value-of 
select="@txt"/>
                                      </th>
                              </xsl:for-each>
                              <xsl:apply-templates 
select="/GHoras/Processos/Processo"/>
                      </table>
      <xsl:template match="Processo">
              <tr prK="{Processo_K}">
                      <xsl:variable name="this" select="."/>
                      <td>
                              <xsl:value-of select="NomeProcesso"/>
                      </td>
                      <xsl:for-each 
select="document('diassemana.xml')/dias/dia">
                              <xsl:variable name="pos" 
select="position()"/>
                              <xsl:for-each select="$this">
                                      <xsl:call-template 
name="edhoras">
                                              <xsl:with-param 
name="dia" select="$pos"/>
                                      </xsl:call-template>
                              </xsl:for-each>
                      </xsl:for-each>
              </tr>
      </xsl:template>
This second use of document() serves only to do a 7th time loop,
without using any data, and the nested for-each is simply to change
context.
Is this a bad practice?
No, not especially. But when a named template is dependent on the context
node, it can often be better to make it a match template instead, perhaps
with a specific mode. Then you could replace 
<xsl:for-each select="document('diassemana.xml')/dias/dia">
  <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="$this">
      <xsl:call-template name="edhoras">
        <xsl:with-param name="dia" select="$pos"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
with
<xsl:for-each select="document('diassemana.xml')/dias/dia">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$this" mode="edhoras">
    <xsl:with-param name="dia" select="position()"/>
  </
