  Where Clause and XDT:Untyped Issues
You sent me a sample of the source document off-list, I assume you meant it
to go to the list:

<pb n="29" xml:id="010003-031"/>
        <ad><head><emph rend="bold deepink">Hostess</emph> is back with new
Baseball Cards...to
                    collect and trade with your friends.</head>
        <p><emph rend="bold orange">3 Free Baseball Cards</emph>
        <emph rend="bold">on specially marked boxes of HostessR Snack
                    Cakes.</emph></p>
        <p>A total of 150 cards. Full of facts. Collect 'em. Trade 'em.</p>
        <p>3 full-color cards printed on the bottom of every specially
marked box of
                        Twinkies<emph rend="sup">R</emph>, Cup Cakes, Suzy
Q's <emph rend="sup">R</emph>, and other mmmmmmmm-delicious Hostess<emph
rend="sup">R</emph>  Snacks. </p>
        <note>RHostess. Twinkies and Suzy Q's are registered trademarks of
ITT   Continental Baking Co.
<lb/> Offer expires August 31, 1976</note> </ad>

With this kind of data, I strongly suspect that the reason your attempt to
eliminate duplicates isn't working is that the apparent duplicate ads are
actually different in some minor detail.

Try selecting two ads that you believe to be duplicates and comparing them
using eq.
