not to be a url pusher .....

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/N2696.html

in general this will say,

a) find all <autor> elements and put the resulant tree in a variable, with a filter getting rid of duplicates ( something like the following )

<xsl:variable name="uniquelist" select="//autor[not(.=following::autor)]"/>

you may have a problem with some parsers, most recent version of sablotron has a problem with these types of xpaths.

cheers, jim
