A key is declared as a top-level element, but it operates on the context in effect when you use it. For example, if you switch the context to another document with <xsl:for-each select="document('another_file')">... then your key will index the other document. Since <xsl:for-each> changes the context, you could actually have the key work with the current paragraph. >I have tried for-each but can't come up with a > select that returns a 'unique' node-set. > Yes, you need the munchean method or Ken Holman's new technique.
