Given: <foo> <baz>a</baz> <baz>b</baz> <baz>a</baz> <baz>b</baz> </foo> and a stylesheet that finds unique values using the preceding axis on a node-set: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:variable name="baz-rtf"> <xsl:copy-of select="//baz"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="baz" select="exslt:node-set($baz-rtf)"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="$baz/baz[not(. = preceding::baz)]"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Xalan produces: "abab" whilst Saxon 6.5.5 gives (the expected result): "ab" It seems to be because the elements copied to "baz-rtf" don't have a common parent element, they aren't siblings in Xalan... If I modify the rtf to have a common parent: <xsl:variable name="baz-rtf"> <root> <xsl:copy-of select="//baz"/> </root> </xsl:variable> then it generates the expected results using both Saxon and Xalan... Which is correct in this case? cheers andrew
