I believe the correct way is:
<xsl:key name="people" match="/data/person" use="@size"/>

...

<xsl:for-each select="document('people.xml')"> <!-- change context -->
  <xsl:for-each select="key('people', 'M')">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

(I did not test this, I might be wrong...)
