Could you do something like
<xsl:for-each select="$all-questions//quiz/@href" />
<xsl:variable name='curDoc' select='.' />
<xsl:for-each select="document($curDoc)//question">
<xsl:sort order='ascending' select='faa-num' />
<xsl:value-of select="faa-num" />
<xsl:value-of select="$curDoc" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

Since you need to sort the questions, you can't. I think that the best
way to do what you're trying to do here is to create an intermediate
node tree and use a node-set() extension function to get at the nodes.
So something like:
<xsl:variable name="questions-rtf">
<xsl:for-each select="$all-questions//quiz/@href">
<quiz href="{.}">
<xsl:copy-of select="document(.)//question" />
</quiz>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($questions-rtf)/quiz/question">
<xsl:sort order="ascending" select="faa-num" />
... do stuff with each question ...
<xsl:value-of select="faa-num" />
...
<xsl:value-of select="../@href" />
</xsl:for-each>
Cheers,
Jeni
