RE: Defining a key on a RTF inside a Template

The value of the match attribute must be a valid pattern

match="exslt:node-set($projectSum)/projectsum"

should simply be

match="projectsum"

The xsl:key declaration doesn't define which document the key is referring
to; that's decided at the time you use the key() function.
