Don't kick yourself for this, Edmund, but you are asking for the document named by the value of the child element named MyXml.xml.
Try: select='document("MyXml.xml")'
This will supply the string of your filename to the function.
Note that you are working with a relative URI value here, so the presence and value of a second argument is going to be significant to where you want to find the file. Check Module 8 of your class notes (readers of our book will also find the details in chapter 8).
I hope this helps.

I've tried
<xsl:variable name='otherDoc' select='document(MyXml.xml)'/> <xsl:template match='/'> <xsl:copy-of select='$otherDoc'/>...
as well as just
<xsl:template match='/'> <xsl:copy-of select='document(MyXml.xml)'/>...
but neither produced output, so I can't even seem to get off the ground with this, let alone do any combining.
