Mark,
This is cool.

Thanks Wendell, also good to know. In this project I ran out of time and
couldn't take the time to work out how to use collection(), so I handled
it elsewise. collection() would have required a ton of refactoring on
this project. I realized I mainly needed to exclude a couple files, so I
embedded a little lookup table in the stylesheet that holds a couple
strings:
<st:exclude>
<st:file name="filename1.xml"/>
<st:file name="filename2.xml"/>
</st:exclude>
Then I made a key to parse it:
<xsl:variable name="excluded-files"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/st:exclude"/>
Or you could simply do
<xsl:variable name="excluded-files" as="element(st:file)+">
<st:file name="filename1.xml"/>
<st:file name="filename2.xml"/>
...
</xsl:variable>
and take it from there.
(The hoary old XSLT 1.0 trick you used is no longer necessary. :-)
Then you may not need the key any more either, as
exists($excluded-files[@name=$this-file])
will then tell you what you need to know, probably as fast.
(Many things can become much simpler under 2.0.)
Cheers,
Wendell
<!-- Key to parse $excluded-files. -->
<xsl:key name="excluded" match="st:file" use="@name"/>
And excluded those files by testing it with key():
<xsl:when test="exists(key('excluded', $thisfile, $excluded-files))">
<!-- do nothing -->
</xsl:when>
Maybe later I can get cooler with collection().
