the NODE-SET function appears to be the function that will allow for this,
but I am having a problem using it with the MSXML, is it supported by the
MSXML DOM?

Subject: [xsl] creating and using a XML nodelist within an XSL template
is it possible to create an XML nodelist for use solely later on in the
XSL
template? I don't want to output the XML nodelist, I merely want to have
the XSL template use it later in its processing.
what I have is a XML file with 2 ids with information that is grouped.
What
I want to find is the top 2 groups (based on average of the 2 values) and
then output a nodelist that is comprised of the each id and its values for
the aforementioned top 2 groups
I was trying to have one FOR-EACH that summed up the group values, but
can't
seem to figure out how to a) determine what the top 2 groups are, and b)
how
to use that information later when I am outputting the information?
in the below example, it would have the following INPUT and OUTPUT
INPUT
<items>
<item id='a'>
<group>1</group>
<value>3</value>
</item>
<item id='a'>
<group>2</group>
<value>7</value>
</item>
<item id='a'>
<group>3</group>
<value>2</value>
</item>
<item id='a'>
<group>4</group>
<value>2</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>1</group>
<value>1</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>2</group>
<value>9</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>3</group>
<value>4</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>4</group>
<value>2</value>
</item>
</items>
OUTPUT
<items>
<item id='a'>
<group>2</group>
<value>7</value>
</item>
<item id='a'>
<group>3</group>
<value>2</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>2</group>
<value>9</value>
</item>
<item id='b'>
<group>3</group>
<value>4</value>
</item>
</items>
