The idea behind the key creation was to create a "shortcut" to some
fairly complex locations of data within my xml source.  Yes,
understood that straight xpath queries will do the trick but
ultimately interested in wrapping up the xpath query in a key!

Wendel:  can you explain how your solution works?  Actually nevermind,
I get it : )
I wish there was a way to do this without being forced to provide the
"1" in the 2nd argument of the xsl:key statement.  Errr.... but that's
ok.
