Here is a stylesheet that was posted to the list a while back by Mark Volkman, which I think will help you .... the key is in testing whether the context node is equivalent to preceding-sibling.

Hi, One of my XSL stylesheets should output sorted elements, with an extra difficulty that there can be several identical elements, which should be included only once. If I would use SQL I'd probably use the statement 'SELECT DISTINCT'. I haven't found an easy way of doing this in XSL. Does anyone have a suggestion (apart from writing a custom template)?
