Re: Problem with obtaining distinct values from a variable containg a nodeset

"Your typical node-set" by definition does not guarantee that you'll
have sibling nodes, or even nodes belonging to a single xml document.

Certainly, this is engine-independent, has nothing to do with "the
.NET architecture" and is a basic XPath concept.

Following up. David was correct in that the .NET architecture was not
providing your typical nodeset to the
XSLT. The System.Xml.XPath.XPathNodeIterator was essentially providing a
"windowPane" view of the original document
through the $services parameter. Using the generate-id() showed
this.(Not explicitly mentioned on MSDN that I could find).

Changing preceding-sibling() to preceding() solved the problem.Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction on this one
David.
