Hi Dan,
Muenchian grouping is a method you can use to remove duplicates,
full explanation here:
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/muenchian.html
Your input looks like
<file-acl-list>
<file-acl name="C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc">
<ace trustee="XPTEST\Users" ... />
<ace trustee="XPTEST\Power Users" ... />
<ace trustee="XPTEST\Administrators" ... />
<ace trustee="SYSTEM" ... />
</file-acl>
<file-acl name="C:\boot.ini">
<ace trustee="XPTEST\Administrators" ... />
</file-acl>
<file-acl name="C:\autoexec.bat">
<ace ... />
</file-acl>
...
</file-acl-list>
With the Muenchian method you can use a key like
<xsl:key name="files" match="//file-acl-list/file-acl" use="@name"/>
to "group" the file-acl elements by their @name, by (for-each or template)
select="//file-acl-list/file-acl[count(. | key('files', @name)[1]) = 1]"
That would give you a list without duplicates. Of course, case sensitive...
if you want a case insensitive comparison, you can replace "@name" with
"translate(@name, $upper, $lower)", both in the key's use attr, and in the
for-each's select attr.

Sorry for not being clear. I mean duplicates in the
original input. What is Muenchian Grouping?
Thanks,
Dan
