I'm glad I'm not the only one!

The match and name attributes are fairly obvious:

xsl:key(match="Employee|Contractor" name="SSN") says I want to be able to
find Employee and Contractor elements using their SSN attribute. (It seems a
key has to be an attribute, we can't find things using the value of child
elements).

It's the "use" attribute that's thoroughly obscure. I've stared at it but
can't see why it's there, let alone why it's mandatory.

PS: Do I grok "grok" correctly? - I'm doing a lot of guessing of semantics
at the moment.
