using XSLT 1.0 and Saxon 6.5.5 I'm wondering whats the actual
difference between
<xsl:key name="child-key" match="child" use="parent::*"/>
That indexes an element on the string-value of its parent node, which
doesn't sound a very useful thing to do.
<xsl:template match="parent" >
<xsl:variable name="childs" select="key('child-key',
parent::*)"/>
...
</xsl:template>
and
<xsl:key name="child-key" match="child"
use="generate-id(parent::*)" />
This effectively indexes an element on the identity of its parent node -
which doesn't sound very useful either.
