Re: accessing different nodes when comparing two xml

             <xsl:for-each 
  select="document($first)/following-sibling::

As I said last time: document() _always_ returns the root node / of teh
referenced document, root nodes never have siblings. I can't suggest
what you should change this to as I don't know what you are trying to
select.
