The comparison after inner for-each iterartion

Y> I am using two for loops for node comaparison.

I think you are trying to appraoch your problem as if XSLT
is a procedural language. Upon clarification of your question,
you may find you don't need any 'for loops'.

Y> <Xml>

Realize you cannot have a tag starting Xml was it is reserved.

Y> In my output I want to do like: If <Name> child from <Personnel> 
Y> node has same value of ' first' attribute
Y> as in Prof/Name then Personnel/Name will not be written to output.

I don't quite see the utility of what you are attempting, but I
read your problem to be as follows: output each Prof/Name unless
there is a Personnel/Name with the same first name. As a preliminary
step towards a solution, the attached files output each Prof/Name
and a message if there is a Personnel/Name with the same frist
name. Could you clarify the logic you want to see and give an
example of the output?

Also, I added <Name first="Mery" last="John" /> to <Personnel> and 
produce  the following output with that attached files:

Prof: Joe, Mery
There is a corresponding individual in Personnel with the same first name.

Prof: Bush, Andrew
