Thanks, that clears things up a lot.  I have read about Saxon-SA, but I didnt
really quite grasp the "SA" part.  And I didnt expect a 1.0 processor to give
me *advanced* features.  But I now better understand what *advanced* means.

Luckily my XML "inspection" turned up xsl:keys that closely matched the
schema ... not bad!

Thx again ...
