Source File : student.htm
XSLT            : testKey.xslt
XML             : validated_data_test.xml   (Note My validation files as
over 2 000 possible values)

This XSLT goes and against an html file and use an XML file to validated
data.
This is workng nicely but it doesn't do everything I want.

It doesn't take care of (uppercase,White Space) so if one is
uppercase(HTML file) and it's lower-case in the XML(validation file)
it doesn't pick it up.

I've tried pluggin in normalize-space and lower-case with no success,

Your test data happens not to need space or case normalization so I hacked the HTML to have lower-case "crafts" and the following worked for me:

<xsl:key name="keyrefname" match="ref"
         use="lower-case(normalize-space(.))"/>
...
test="empty(key('keyrefname',lower-case(normalize-space($keyref))))">

The essence is to ensure that the values used for search are the values loaded up in the key table.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

I hope this helps.
