Yes. (except I'm not sure what that ":" is doing before MELTITLE).

Thank you MIchael,
 
Using Saxon 9.1.0.1, could I use:?
 
let $docs:= collection("file:///c:/temp <BLOCKED::file:///c:/temp> ")
for $t in distinct-values($docs//:MELTITLE)
return $t

Yes, like all the core functions, collection() is available in both XSLT and
XQuery.
 
However, the specification of collection() leaves a great deal of discretion
to implementors, so you may well find that the collection URI is interpreted
in different ways in different products.
 
Incidentally, "c:/temp" is not a valid URI.

Hi,
 
Can you use collection() like in XSLT 2.0?
 
for example:
 
let $docs:= collection("c:/temp")
for $t in distinct-values($doc//TITLE)
return $t
 
Thanks 
Phil
