xsl unique variables
Hi there,

This is similar to something I asked months ago, and you'd
think I'd be able to figure it out but... assuming you have
a file like>


<foo id="a1">
<body wit="A B E D">some stuff</body>
<body wit="C A G">some other stuff</body>
</foo>

What I want to produce is a list of links one for each unique witness,
so in this case something like:

<p>See the reading for:
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="A">A</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="B">B</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="C">C</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="D">D</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="E">E</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="G">G</a>
</p>

So, I'm assuming what needs to happen is that I need to somehow produce
a list of each of the tokenized contents of //body/@wit which are
then sorted and made unique. Any suggestions on how to go about this
using Xalan inside cocoon-2.1?  I.e. I have some ideas on how to do it
with saxon extensions/xslt 2.0, but not inside cocoon.  Any suggestions
appreciated!

-James
