RE: multiple inputs in test expressions?

I am afraid you would indeed have to merge the documents in your
example. The XPath context for the test expression is at most one
document, so you can't query across two documents here.

Using XSLT for merging the documents is one option, but XProc provides
(probably much more efficient) alternatives: for instance, the
p:wrap-sequence step.

Another approach could be to use p:xquery to query across the documents,
and then use the result of the p:xquery step in your p:choose/p:when.
That would eliminate the need for merging the documents.
