RE: [xslt] how to access default xml

["Robert Koberg" <rob koberg com>]

you want to put the original XML tree into a global variable so you can
access it whenever you need. At the top level of the XSL, put:

<xsl:variable name="default-xmlfile" select="/"/>

Also, when you make repeated document function calls to the same document,
why not put the result in a variable once and then reuse it.

<xsl:variable name="test-xmlfile" select="document('test.xml')/rootnode"/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="$test-xmlfile"/>

One more thing you might want to do is set the xsl:output to text.
