Is that all correct?

something like
<xsl:for-each select="W"> <xsl:for-each select="X[not(@Y=../following-sibling::X/@Y)]"> something
Thanks David (and everyone else who replied, but David got there first!) - exactly the kind of thing I was after. The .. inside the predicate should not be there but you did say "something like"....
I was working along the right lines before, but was trying to count the nodeset of siblings of the context node with the same attribute value, which involved a predicate inside the predicate and I needed the broader vision.
I have written lots of XSL, but only basic stuff and now I am revisiting some of it I am keen to do a better job, so I would be grateful if someone would confirm my understanding of the above (without the ..)
I think it is saying select all X for whom it is not true that the value of the attribute Y is equal to the value of the same attribute on any following sibling X. In which case it is choosing the last X with each value of Y. The .. is not needed because the context in which the attribute is seen is an X and so searching for its siblin Xs is at the same level.
Is that all correct?
