RE: key() function issue

This one had me stumped for a little while, but Saxon is behaving correctly.
The treatment of the third argument to key() changed recently, and the
change is in Saxon 8.4. It now searches not the whole document containing
$citekey, but only the subtree rooted at $citekey - this is to allow keyed
searches within a subtree of a document. So you need to write the third
argument as root($citekey) or $citekey/(/)
