Sorry! I deleted one too many lines when simplifying my style sheet
before posting. I was trying to follow Uche Ogbuji's example code and
thought that just writing this as a top-level element would work to
set up the keys:
<xsl:variable
name="load_java_reserved_words"
select="document('java_reserved_words.xml')"/>

I missed all of this, but now that I have added the for-each to my code
it works.
Thanks for the help.
