Not the answer you were looking for, but... Is the lookup table in another XML document? If so then you might well be able to use the document() function, if your xslt processor supports it e.g. <xsl:value-of select="document($lookup-file)/ROWSET/ROW/FUND/FUND_ROW[FND_ID=$fnd-id]/ISIN_CODE"/> That said, if you can, use Haskell to do all the transformations i.e. avoid xslt altogether. I despise xslt.
