Re: [xsl] What is a better word for "de-duplication"?

"factorised nodes" best serves my needs.

However, I won't understand what you mean unless I remember this
conversation.

I would much prefer "de-duplicate".

Of course, I would also much prefer "uniquify".

If a little French and Latin gets into this melange we call English, it'll
just have to fend for itself.

I am reminded of an amusing (to me) quotation:

"We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other
languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets
for new vocabulary." - James Nicoll
