But this is an O(n^2) solution and doesn't remove the duplicates...

Subject: RE: [xsl] Problems selecting the right nodes.
I'm not sure if this will fit the bill, but it does return
the correct results with your sample below.
<xsl:template match="service">
<xsl:if test="/root/branch[not(service/@id = current()/@id)]">
<xsl:value-of select="@id" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Basically, this matches the service nodes and only executes
the value-of when the exists a branch which does not have a
service with the same @id as the current service. Because it
is processing nodes, it possible that you could have some
duplication, which you may not want. You might be able to
use this as a starting point.

I have a nodeset or arbitrary length that contains a set of
tags which
look something like:
<branch id="br1">
<service id="service1" />
<service id="service2" />
<service id="service3" />
</branch>
<branch id="br2">
<service id="service1" />
<service id="service4" />
</branch>
Now what I want is a nodeset that contains (uniquely) all the
services
that do not occur in all the branches. In this case I want
service 2, 3
and 4 but not 1
