Re: Muenchian method, and keys 'n stuff
What would be useful in quite a lot of situations is
unicode-character-from-int()
so you'd be able to do
<xsl:for-each select=97 to 122">
...unicode-character-from-int(.)
</xsl:for-each>

It's interesting that you can build a sequence of integers in XPath
2.0 with the 'to' operator, but not a sequence of characters. For this
situation, it would be really nice to be able to do:
<xsl:for-each select="'a' to 'z'">
...
</xsl:for-each>
I suppose the other possibility would be tokenize function so you
could do:
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', '')">
...
</xsl:for-each>
to achieve the same thing (although a little more laboriously).
