The problem is that I don't know the schema of the incoming files but
they're channeled through a recursive single template, so fiddling
around with keys to capture something that I currently trap in
<xsl:choose /> contraptions seem a bit tricky, especially through
recursiveness. My files are reasonably small but numorous (about 50
per transformation), so the performance hit ain't currently a problem
and I fear creating bucketloads of different keys to index all the
possibilities might cause more code-bloat than I like.

And yes, XSLT 1.0; using a framework that don't support 2.0 yet.
