[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Why can't I use document() inside a template rule
 Since the two documents use different vocabularies, all your template
rules can match elements by name, and they don't need to specify which
document they expect to find those elements in.
If different documents contain overlapping vocabularies, then you can
use modes to distinguish which template rules are active for a given
call on xsl:apply-templates.
If you are really determined, you can write a template rule that only
applies to elements in a given document by writing:
<xsl:template match="e[generate-id(/) =
generate-id(document('a.xml'))]">
but it's probably grossly inefficient, and never necessary in practice.
