Hmmm... I must be missing something, but I don't see how
"document(fn:namespace-uri(.))" saves cycles compared to
"document(@lnk)"!

Furthermore, your trick requires that you use namespaces in your
instance documents which you might have been able to avoid without it
and these namespaces do add many cycles (for instance imposing that you
use prefixes in all your XPath expressions).

Isn't it very subjective :-) ?

Personally, I wouldn't call using XSLT 2.0 "elegant" at all !
