Unless there's going to be a processing error at
"document('s.xml')//Channel" when s.xml does not exist, then the pattern
should be solid here. From the XSLT 1.0 specification:

"When the second argument to the key function is of type node-set, then
the result is the union of the result of applying the key function to
the string value of each of the nodes in the argument node-set."

So, by passing document('s.xml')//Channel as the second argument to
key(), you can bypass the explicit context switch below, and jump right
into processing the key results. I had mentioned before that this is
beneficial only if no other processing is needed for the
document('s.xml')//Channel nodes, but that was part of the original
example.

heh,  I didn't know that...

Thanks Scott!
