Thanks for the try.
What you said makes complete sense and it looked to me like it should
work, but now I have the opposite problem... It's including everything.
:p
Preceding-sibling::* means ALL preceding siblings, correct? If not,
that may be my problem, because the XML is not sorted/grouped in an
orderly fashion *grimace*.

Chris,
Try
select="items/item[not(preceding-sibling::*
[name=current()/name and
type = current()/type and
status = current()/status])]"
The problem with your statement is it's testing true if there no
corresponding values on any preceding siblings, whereas you
want it to be
true only if there's a preceding sibling with all
corresponding values.
I hope that works for you--
Cheers,
Wendell
