    Hi nnp,

    Here's the most basic way to do it:

       <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:variable name="data" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlDocumentByUrl('http://somesite.com/page', 20)" />
        <ul>
            <xsl:for-each select="$data//job">
                <li><xsl:value-of select="category" /></li>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </ul>
    </xsl:template>
    The bold parts are what you need to change depending on your XML source - "20" is a cache duration (so Umbraco won't load the document from the server all the time - it's measured in seconds if I remember correct).
