What your are looking for is computing the intersection between two sets. In XPath 2.0, you have the 'intersect' operator. In XSLT 1.0, you can use the following technique, using the fact that nodes appearing in two sets don't modify the count of the elements in one set. Strangely, I didn't find reference to this in the FAQ, Dave. Maybe I didn't look at the right place?
