I think I found a solution, it is working with a simple file but when I try to implement this on my more complicated one I get blank screen. I think that the select part of my <xsl:for-each tags are not parsed correctly.
Can someone please advice, here is my code in full:

What you are attempting is normal stuff. The factoid you are probably missing is that document('') (that is, with a zero-length XPath parameter) refers to the stylesheet document itself.
Consider something like:
This technique is often used for lookup tables, which is reasonably demonstrated here (look near the bottom of the page).

Consider something like:
Code:
select='[COLOR=blue]document('')[/color]/z:MappingData/z:MappingDataElement[1]/*'This technique is often used for lookup tables, which is reasonably demonstrated here (look near the bottom of the page).

Minor mistake on my part, but the referenced article had it correct.

Bingo! 
Now to a different question: I am building this whole file dynamically so at the time when I create it I still don't know it's name so the href='test.xml'?> can't be completed with the file name. Is there any other way to say href to this document without actually specifying it's name (Like the reserved word "this" for an object in Java for example...)
Thank you in advance!
