I really don't see how your problem fits in with this thread though.
Typically it's better form to start a new thread if you have a
different problem.

document("file.xml")/file/first or document("file.xml")/file or the like.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  How did you try a "merge"?

Not unless you're doing something weird.

Where did you look?  The specs have an example or two.  Not all of
them are in the document section, some are given close to it if I
recall correctly.  The FAQ has an entire section:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N2602.html.  Googling document()
xslt turned up several pages.  Not to necessarily say that any of
these resources are extensive, but they should all answer basic
questions like referring to an element within an external document.
