RE: [xsl] using every inside a predicate

The following variable should return a sequence of names that 
only appear in EVERY section.
 
      <xsl:variable name="ubiquitous-names"
                        select="distinct-values(sections/section/name
                        [not(contains(., 'new entry'))]
                        [every $s in sections/section 
satisfies $s/name = .])" />

The context for sections/section is wrong. It needs to be
current()/sections/section.

So  [every $s in sections/section satisfies $s/name = .] 
doesn't seem to have any effect.


If X is an empty sequence, then "every $x in X satifies expr" is always true
(which sometimes surprises non-mathematicians).
