More usual is to set a variable to the document node <xsl:variable name="input" select="/"/> and then regain your context using $input/key(...) But yes: once you've gone into a scope where the context item is an atomic value, you need some kind of handle to yank yourself out again. Perhaps a current-match() would be useful - but in my view there are already far too many current-these and current-those, and there's no crime in using variables.
