RE: No to display the values which are already existing

This is not really accurate. This works only for th given sequence, try placing 
"Dan" and "Steve" Authors in different sequence and this breaks. Basically this 
works only if the Element on which the key is generated are in consecutive 
order.
I would like the answer too!
Thanks,
Ashish

You could use a variation of the muenchian method

 <xsl:key match="Title" name="list" use="Author"/>
 <xsl:template match="Store">
  <table>
   <tr>
    <td>Author</td>
    <td>Title</td>
   </tr>
   <!-- instead of applying just to the first element of each group apply to
all -->
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </table>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="Title">
  <tr>
   <td>
    <!-- display the Author if this is the first element of the group -->
    <xsl:if test="generate-id()=generate-id(key('list',Author))">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="Author"/>
    </xsl:if>
   </td>
   <td>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Name"/>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </xsl:template>


Hope this helps you.
