No need for document(''), just access the variable directly:

<xsl:variable name="map">
  <map>
     <key name="blah" value="blah"/>
     ....
  </map>
</xsl:variable>

and

<xsl:for-each select="$map">
  <xsl:value-of select="key('mappings', $lookup)/@value"/>

The key will only be built for, and applied to the contents of $map
