Hi,
But let's not forget the ordinary case of //aaa/bbb/key('mykey',@ref)/fooval)
where the second argument (and not only the implicit third argument)
to key() is relative to the evaluation context.
Nor is it unheard of to string more than one call to key() in a single path ...
Cheers, Wendell

where key is :
<xsl:key name = "mykey" select = "ccc/ddd" use = "@id"/>
It doesn't make much sense. The expression has exactly the same result as
<xsl:variable name = "foo" select = "key('mykey','myval')/fooval"/>
There are cases where using key() after "/" would make sense to select the
document to be searched, but in this cases all the nodes are in the context
document so it makes no difference.
