Coming from the other direction, you can embed your XML data into your

document('')/*/ext:my-embedded-data would gain you access to the node-set  
inside of your XSLT file who's parent element was
ext:my-embedded-data**)
 
The above will work on any XSLT 1.0 processor.

Except Opera.

as a (usually more efficient) alternative to document('')/// you can of
course use
<xsl:variable name="x-">
 my mbedded doc
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="x" select="exslt:node-set($x-)"/>

How is this in any way more efficient? Say I have 10 or 100,000  or n
content pieces that I pull in by the document function...

I am perhaps taking the original post out its bounds, but who knows...

Opera is the only browser that allow JS transforms but not the document
function. Whats up with that?

Personally, I have stopped using Opera (whereas I was probably one of
the few who actually did use it).


which should also work in opera, just beware of white space parsing
differences (which can be avoided with xml:space) when parsing a
document as part of the stylesheet .
