Re: [xsl] Problem with obtaining distinct values from a variable containg a nodeset

And of course, the set:distinct() function from EXSLT.

As you're using .NET, the XML-MVP project's implementation of EXSLT
comes particularly handy.

I can personally guarantee that the functions from the "set" module
have been meticulously optimized   :o)
