David,
thanks for the pointer to xml:id.
While it works perfectly in xsltproc it is not a big help.
The intended use for the duplicate node elimination is
providing a XPath evaluator for browsers.
The support for xml:id in browsers is not that big currently:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(XML)#Core_technologies
So these ideas are a dead end, xml:id not supported wide enough, and
DOCTYPE cannot work by your explanation. Therefore id() function
cannot help, too.
I will have to go back to the working solution with intersection and
ghost nodes.
Mit besten Gruessen / Best wishes,

Is DOCTYPE supported by exslt:node-set()?
it can't be as node-set takes a rtf and converts it to a node, but
neither rtf nor node data types model DTD. You may be better off with
xml:id attributes.
