Re: working with multiple inputs simultaneously

working with multiple documents simultaneously
you need to be aware of what is the current node, and that "/" selects
the root node of the document containing the curreent node.
Normally, when working with multiple documents it's best to stick all
root nodes in a variables so you can get hold of them

so

<xsl:variable name="originalroot" select="/"/>
<xsl:for-each select="nodes-in-orig">
 <xsl:for-each select="document(whatever)">
   now here / and any path begining with / refer to nodes in the
   new document, but I can get at the original document by
   <xsl:value-of select="$originalroot/a/b/c"/>
