Heres a stylesheet that will do it.  It's a grouping problem, you just
need to group <Detail> elements by their id attibute and text content,
then apply templates to only the first one in the group.  Check out
jeni's site for more on grouping http://www.jenitennison.com

(I've html like tags in the output rather than whitespace so my IDE can
tidy it for me :) You may want to replace the ancestor:: use with
another key to help performance)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:key name="details" match="Detail" use="concat(@no,'/',.)"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <root>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//Detail[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('details',concat(@no,'/',.))[1])]"/>
  </root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Detail">
  <div detail="{concat(@no,', ',.)}">
    <xsl:for-each select="key('details',concat(@no,'/',.))">
      <span>
        <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::Community/City"/>,<xsl:text/>
        <xsl:value-of select="parent::Info/preceding-sibling::Name"/>
      </span>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </div>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
