I believe my current context to be inside the second <level2>since value-of select="SubDiv1" gives me the contents of the second SubDiv1.

1st, both of your <SubDiv1>'s are the same, so the value-of doesn't work, But in case this is a typo and you meant. "since value-of select="SubDiv2" gives me the contents of the second SubDiv2

Then I think you want. (preceding-sibling::Level2/SubDiv1 = SubDiv1) instead of (../preceding-sibling/SubDiv1 = SubDiv1)

This assumes there are no other <Level2> nodes in the preceding-sibling axis. To handle that condition, you could try this (preceding-sibling::Level2[1]/SubDiv1 = SubDiv1)

I now want to know if the two SubDiv1 elements are identical or different. I tried ../preceding-sibling/SubDiv1 = SubDiv1, but the first part of the expression does not work. What have I misunderstood? Thanks, Mark

If that doesn't work, I would have to see more of the surrounding xslt.
