Re: How to remove duplicates nodes?

Ok, I believe I'm beginning to understand this stuff, enough
to think that I've got a legitimate difficulty here:

I've got an abstract concept of a rule mapping.  This thing has
multiple rule elements in it, each of which have multiple RHS.
A rule mapping is an overall 'rule' of sorts, each rule element being
a particular part of it.

I want to find all the 'Context' elements that are being set by
a rule mapping.  To do so, I go to a RuleMapping element and
from there find all the "Rule/RHS/Context[1]" Context elements.

That's where there may be duplicates.
Doing a [not(.=following::Context)] doesn't work since the 'following',
if I'm correct, is at the rule mapping node that I happen to
be sitting in and isn't referring to the particular nodes in
the node set from my main path expression.

I don't believe I can use the 'key' trick since the Context element
is throughout my XML and I only want to do this duplicate analysis
from within a particular rule mapping element.

Here is some sample extract of my xml showing two rule mappings.
For the first I should end up with three Context elements with which
I can then display them.  From the second, only one Context element.


Really, I think this is trickier that it seems (or I'm being really
stupid!).  Thanks for any help!
