Now there's a man thats at home with sequences!


Mike, the reason I'm uncomfortable with
<xsl:key name="p" match="*">
<xsl:number level="any" count="*" from="/"/>
</xsl:key>

is, quite simply I don't understand it. That, in combination
with
<xsl:variable name="posn">
   <xsl:number level="any" count="*" from="/"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="val" select="document($src)/key('p', $posn)"/>

which I guess must be within the context of interest,
Seem to retrieve the matching node in the 'other' document.

Anyone explain how please?

TIA
