Re:  starts-with on more than one item
<xsl:for-each select="document('mySkus.xml')/skus">

there is only one item selected here, didn't you intend t iterate over
all the sku elements
<xsl:for-each select="document('mySkus.xml')/skus/sku">
?

<xsl:if test="starts-with('.', $skus)">

this is testing if the string "." contais anything saxon is telling you
the second parameter needs to be a single item but you presumably don't
want to test the string ".", you could test . which would select the
skus element but that is effectively your entire document 9ignoring all
markup) so I think you do want the for-each to go over skus/sku and then
to use . here to test each sku.
You could then use
$skus[starts-with(current(),.)]
to test if the current sku node starts aith any of the items in $sku.


(your input document is not well formed, which makes it harder to test

something like this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
 version="2.0" >
<xsl:key name="sku" match="knowledge/part" use="code" />
<xsl:variable name="skus" as="xs:string*"
select="distinct-values(/knowledge/part/code)" />
<xsl:variable name="root" select="/"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
 <html>
  <head>
   <title>Test Document</title>

<p>Your proposal includes

<xsl:value-of 
    select="for $s in $skus return key('sku',$s[document('mySkus.xml')/skus/sku[starts-with(.,$s)]],$root)/name"
