Anyone have a 1.0 interpretation of this?

   <xsl:apply-templates
     select="key('records',
                 key('activities',
                     'yes',
                     document('blah.xml')),
                 $records)"/>

and then you said "I have a variable containing
<Records>" and "<xsl:apply-templates select="$variable/..." in:

Since you can't push a result tree fragment
variable in XSLT 1.0, you seem to obviously be using XSLT 2.0.

So, since you are using XSLT 1.0, you cannot push
a result tree fragment variable, so you are back
to using files, which is the answer I already provided.
