Here is an example stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0">

   <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

   <xsl:key name="uic" match="uicontrol" use="@id"/>

   <xsl:variable name="uic-doc" select="document
('navigation-labels.xml')"/>

   <xsl:template match="uicontrol">
     <xsl:variable name="ref" select="@conref"/>
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:for-each select="$uic-doc">
         <xsl:value-of select="key('uic', $ref)"/>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
