The reason for a lookup xml source is to act as a cross-reference to
data in the main xml source. So, I need to reference all elements
who's ID = 123 but my match is expressed as a code value "abc". The
code "abc" maps to 123 in my lookup.
So, I'm still scratching my head wondering how I might effectively put
the external file to use with keys, but thinking it won't work, the
context would strictly be of the main xml source.

Is it legal to create a key off of an xml source stored as a variable?
No.
So the key decleration might look like:
<xsl:key name="myKey" match="$external_xml_source//data"
use="some_element"/>
If not, is there a workaround?
Yes, just use match="data", and ensure that the context node is
$external_xml_source at the time you call the key() function.
