XSLT document() Function

One way to use this function is to look up data in an external document. For example we want to find the Celsius value from a Fahrenheit value and we refer to a document that contains some pre-computed results:
<xsl:value-of select="document('celsius.xml')/celsius/result[@value=$value]"/>
