I really should have said "partial order" here rather than
"sequentiality" because this entire question has to do with the
partial order established by both the functional nature of XSL and the
strict lexical order of XML documents.

Well, this is not true when is comes to the matter of keys since
there is a direct state dependence on which keys have been processed
and which have not in all cases. This order is enforced by the
hierarchical order of the documents itself. And nor is this true in
the case I consider, where one document includes another, then there
is a sequentiality established by that fact.

There is no such concept in XSLT as "the set of documents that have
been
processed". Anything involving a past tense like this is suspicious
- it
means that the result would be dependent on the order of evaluation
of
instructions in the stylesheet (which is a far greater evil than a
context
dependency). You could talk about the set of all documents that are
processed by the transformation, but this is not known until the
transformation is finished.
