Yes (although you're just walking the ancestor axis once per node in a
different place)
It is possible to create the following key (and any other keys!):
<xsl:key name="kRtlMode" match="*[ancestor-or-self::*[(_at_)dir='rtl']]"
use="generate-id()"/>
just during the initial reading of the xml document -- without any
walking up the ancestor axis.
That is, when the currently-read node satisfies:
@dir='rtl'
then the "key-recording-mode" for the key named 'kRtlMode' is turned
on and key-values are generated for each element while this
"key-recording-mode" is on.
To summarise, it is perfectly possible to create the above key without
walking up the ancestor axis for the nodes.
But do you know of any implementations that build such a key like that?
