I suspect that I have found a bug pertaining to multiple key() function calls that share a common xsl:key but occur in different templates. Both key() calls are operating on results-tree-fragments that I've turned into nodesets with the xalan:nodeset() extension.
When the calls are in different templates the second occurance of key() doesn't return any results. If I combine template1 and template2 into a single template then I get correct results for both key() calls. I have worked around the issue by cloning the xsl:key (key2) and no longer reusing them. I'm using Xalan 2.7.1.
