Hi,

-><xsl:template match="person">
->  <xsl:value-of select="@name"/><xsl:text>: </xsl:text>
->  <xsl:for-each select="date[ not( . = preceding::date )]">
->    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
->    <xsl:if test="not(position()=last())">, </xsl:if>
->  </xsl:for-each>
-></xsl:template>
->
->which produces: 
->				person1: feb2000, mar2000, Apr2000
->        person2: 

The problem is you use preceding which for person2 matches person1 and its
children and therefor nothing is 'printed' for person2. Use
preceding-sibling instead and it should work. (BTW: I never understood all
the axis till I saw the diagrams in Michal Kay's Book...)

Frank
