I'm trying to build a look up table by using keys but I have 2 documents

processing has the values that I want to verify are in the second
document. This second document is passed in as a parameter to the
stylesheet. So I was trying to do this:
...
I also tried processing this second document with a template of its own,
so I could use the <xsl:key> element without passing the document
information in. That fails because <xsl:key> is a top level element and
can't be used in a template.
I can't change the selection of which document to process, is there an
option here that I missed?
Keys 'just work' for every document.
To lookup something in the secondary document, use the document-node of
the secondary document as the third, 'selected subtree', argument to
'key()' [1]:
key($key-name as xs:string,
$key-value as xs:anyAtomicType*,
$top as node()) as node()*
