For all problems involving looking for duplicates, or grouping, use
Muenchian grouping in XSLT 1.0 or xsl:for-each-group in 2.0.
It's a little hard from this problem description to see how it would
extrapolate to different input files. For example, what output would you
want if the input were:
<a>
<b>Value1</b>
<bb>Value2</bb>
<bbb>Value3</bbb>
</a>
<c>
<b>Value1</b>
<bb>Value4</bb>
<bbb>Value5</bbb>
</c>
or if it were:
<c>
<b>Value4</b>
<bb>Value2</bb>
<bbb>Value5</bbb>
</c>
<a>
<b>Value1</b>
<bb>Value2</bb>
<bbb>Value3</bbb>
</a>

Subject: [xsl] Outputing Differences between two files
I'm trying to write an XSL that receives an XML file
as input and outputs only the values that have a
certain sibling's value duplicated in the file. For
example, if I have the following XML:
<a>
<b>Value1</b>
<bb>Value2</bb>
<bbb>Value3</bbb>
</a>
<c>
<b>Value4</b>
<bb>Value2</bb>
<bbb>Value5</bbb>
</c>
In this example, I want the output sibling to be
"a/bbb". Since "Value2" is shown twice for element
bb, I want to output "Value3", since that is the
output sibling. Any feedback regarding this example
would be appreciated, so that I can apply it to my
actual situation.
Thanks.
