( ii ) What does line 21 do especially the concat() function and which document 
is it reading from? Is it index.xml? Does it mean that lines 8 - 23 all uses 
the same document as a result from this line? Likewise, where in this 
stylesheet that references the secondary source index.xml?
( iii ) Lines 25 - 39 appears to retrieve content of various nodes in the

the primary source document? Or is it able to lookup both at the same time?
( iv ) Lines 25 - 39 all uses ( v ) Lastly, is URI in XSLT is equivalent to filename? e.g. document('geneva.xml')

With that stylesheet you have posted only index.xml makes sense as the primary input document. That document contains ph:entry elements with the name or rather prefix of other files to be loaded with the document function (e.g. with <ph:entry>geneva</ph:entry> and <xsl:apply-templates select="document(concat(.,'.xml'))"/> the file "geneva.xml" is loaded and processed).
