replace a variable reference by its value, so if you only use it in one

bit more self-documenting (which isn't a negligible consideration)
Indeed. I need to allow users to change urls and a few other
parameters (for authentication), so at least some of these needs to be
easily accessible and clear.
But I get your point.
I suppose I could just use a function to build the query, so that I
end
up with something like ...
<xsl:variable name="bib:data" select="doc(bib:get_docs(.))"
as="element()+"/>
well as I said before you can't use element()+ as the type of a
sequence
selected by doc() as you'll get a type error.
Either doc() will return the empty sequence, in which case you get an
error (as you have used + which means 1-or-more) or it will return a
document node, in which cae you will get an error as you have used
element() (which means an element node)
So as="document-node()"? Or just let the processor figure that out?
