Re: collecting a fileset with XSLT 2.0

Thanks Wendell, also good to know. In this project I ran out of time and
couldn't take the time to work out how to use collection(), so I handled
it elsewise. collection() would have required a ton of refactoring on
this project. I realized I mainly needed to exclude a couple files, so I
embedded a little lookup table in the stylesheet that holds a couple
strings:

<st:exclude>
<st:file name="filename1.xml"/>
<st:file name="filename2.xml"/>
</st:exclude>

Then I made a key to parse it:

<xsl:variable name="excluded-files"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/st:exclude"/>

<xsl:variable name="excluded-files" as="element(st:file)+">
  <st:file name="filename1.xml"/>
  <st:file name="filename2.xml"/>
  ...
</xsl:variable>

Cheers,
Wendell

<!-- Key to parse $excluded-files. -->
<xsl:key name="excluded" match="st:file" use="@name"/>

And excluded those files by testing it with key():

<xsl:when test="exists(key('excluded', $thisfile, $excluded-files))">
<!-- do nothing -->
</xsl:when>

Maybe later I can get cooler with collection().
