Re:  combining multiple documents
It all looks to be stated informally to me.

With respect,

Hi

I am mystified why this works and a simple key reference does
not since surely "/" simply specifies the global processing
scope in any case.

I don't know what you mean by "the global processing scope" but "/" is defined as following by [XPath 2.0] "3.2 Path Expressions" http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-path-expressions:

   A "/" at the beginning of a path expression is an
   abbreviation for the initial step fn:root(self::node()) treat
   as document-node()/

 Stated informally, that means the document node that the
current item belongs to.
