In case anyone is working on a solution to the problem presented in my
last post, I thought it only proper to inform you that I have discovered
an answer. It follows:


<xsl:template match="n1:share">
<xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" />
<xsl:variable name="xx" select="@loc" />
<xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)">
<xsl:for-each select="//*[@id=$x]"> <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="n1:share">
   <xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" />
     <xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)//*[@id=$x]">
         <xsl:value-of select="."/>
     </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
