I just wanted to clarify the remarks that I made during the defect review meeting. Another user ran into this problem trying to do the same sort of things with the node-set function key, and that's why I opened the Jira issue. What I said about XSLT 2.0 was that the fact that it allows the key function to return nodes from temporary trees would be an argument in favour of doing the same thing in XSLT 1.0 if the key function is evaluated with a context node that is in a tree returned by the node-set extension function. The particular user opted to write their stylesheet in a different way, so I indicated this wasn't a high priority. If you feel this is a critically important feature, maybe we should look at fixing this in Xalan-J 2.7.1.
