Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you're proposing to do, but you cannot use XPath to join multiple documents, as far as I know. Suppose I have the XPath expression /authorization/users/user/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/authorization/groups/group/@id] which is the revised version of your join query. How is the XPath processor supposed to know that the two different appearances of /authorization stand for two distinct trees, or whether it is supposed to find /authorization/users and /authorization/groups in the same document? If you want to join across multiple documents, you need to mash them into one document first, *I believe*.
You could do something like:
<xsl:variable
name="ext_doc"
select="document('/uri/resolved/to/something.xml')/authorization"/>
then you could do:
/authorization/users/user/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/groups/group/@id]
