Chris,
Try
select="items/item[not(preceding-sibling::*
[name=current()/name and
type = current()/type and
status = current()/status])]"
The problem with your statement is it's testing true if there no
corresponding values on any preceding siblings, whereas you want it to be
true only if there's a preceding sibling with all corresponding values.
I hope that works for you--
Cheers,
Wendell

I'm trying to create a node set that only contains different nodes. The
problem I'm running into is I seem to be losing nodes that I shouldn't.
I'm using the following to select the nodes:
<xsl:for-each select="items/item[not(name = preceding-sibling::*/name
and type = preceding-sibling::*/type and status =
preceding-sibling::*/status)]">
An example from the XML might be: truck,silverado,chevy,on
truck,silverado,chevy,off truck,ranger,ford,on truck,silverado,chevy,on
truck,silverado,chevy,off

I'm getting are the second and third ones.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
