What do you mean with reverse key?

Yes I wondered about that after I wrote it. As you may have noticed sometimes my xsl-list answering fingers are not totally connected to my brain.

I think basically I was thinking of this, given

xsl:key name="k" match="*[(_at_)id]" use="@id"

then the set of keys is got by doing something like

select="distinct-values(//*/@id)"

so can you speed up that // using a key?

to do it with a key you'd probably have to do something like

xsl:key name="r" match="@id" use="''"

but using a key with a constant key is probably just an inefficient alternative to using a variable, especially if you are only going to use it once, as in

select="distinct-values(key('r',''))

or something....
