 Replace
<xsl:value-of
select="document('navigation-labels.xml')/topic/body/p/uicontrol[document('n
avigation-labels.xml')/topic/body/p/uicontrol
= .]"/>
by
<xsl:value-of
select="document('navigation-labels.xml')/topic/body/p/uicontrol[@id =
current()/@conref]"/>
Quite how you expected this to work when your code references neither the
@id nor @conref attributes defeats me.
It would be more efficient, and perhaps clearer, to use a key - but get it
working first.
