RE: Outputing a node whose value appears only once

Hi Jonathan,
  I think you need this stylesheet! As Mike suggested
we need to use Muenchian grouping technique..

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:output method="text" /> 

<xsl:key name="by-elem" match="a/* | c/*" use="." />
 
<xsl:template match="/root">
  <xsl:for-each select="(a/* | c/*)[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('by-elem',.)[1])][count(key('by-elem',.))
= 1]">
     <xsl:value-of select="."
/><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Mukul
