 The high-level skinny on Muenchian grouping: 1. Establish a way to group the nodes you want grouped 2. Select and process only one (typically the first) of the nodes in each group 3. When you process it, also pick up and process the others in the group We usually use keys to establish the grouping: it's handy and efficient. (This can also be done with raw XPath, though you'll find performance will degrade on anything but small documents). Since XPath 1.0 has no direct way to test node identity, the de-duplicating step (2) is usually done with either of two non-obvious techniques: - compare generate-id of a selected node with the generated id of the first node in the group to which your selected node belongs - count the nodes in the set formed by the union of a selected node and the first in its group: if it equals 1, they're the same node.
