Hi,

I need to organize a list of items by genre (@type) so that all the items of a given genre end up in the same file. The following code works:

<xsl:template match="items"> <xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(item/@type)"> <xsl:result-document href="html/{.}.html"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('music.xml')/ key('by-type',current())"/> </xsl:result-document> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>

What bothers me is that I need the 'document("music.xml")' part ('music.xml' is the xml file I'm processing). If I don't have it, Saxon (8B) complains that it cannot process nodes from an atomic context (the string I'm currently processing, I suppose). Same thing if I use //item[@type = current()] instead of a call to key(). So, whether I use key() or not, I still need to start from 'document ("music.xml")' and I don't like it.

Is this behavior normal? Is there a workaround that does not require me to refer to 'music.xml' explicitly?

Thanks,

MC
