That's the odd thing. Changing this message to this:
<xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select="$cite-ref/@linkend"/>:
<xsl:if test="$cite-ref is key('refs',@linkend)[1]">FIRST</xsl:if>
</xsl:message>
... does get the expected linkend values back. So the context is correct
there with $cite-ref.
Not at all odd -- just what you want! -- if $cite-ref is the context where
you'll find your @linkend, start there. Note that the location path
"$cite-ref/@linkend" differs from the path "@linkend" in a crucial respect.
Change that test to "$cite-ref is key('refs',$cite-ref/@linkend)[1]" and
you should be fine. (And I think that's what I guessed before. :-)
A relative path (one that doesn't start with '/') such as "@linkend" always
starts from the context node. Except in the middle of a location path (i.e.
in a predicate), the context node is always the current node, that is the
node being matched by the template.
Cheers,
Wendell
