Karthik,
Why not bind your namespaces to prefixes in the usual way and use
them accordingly?
This doesn't appear to me to be about schemas as such, but only about
the fact that your elements are in a namespace. So
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xys="http://ABC/XYZ"; xmlns:xyy="http://ABC/XYY";
xmlns:qwe="http://ABC/QWE"; ...
...
<xsl:variable name="unique-countries"
select="/xyz:cities/xyy:city[not(qwe:country=preceding-sibling::xyy:city/qwe:country)]/qwe:country"
(Though one would hope that each of these three element types would
not be in its own peculiar namespace.)
The important point here is that the namespace prefixes don't have to
be identical with those in the source documents as long as the
namespace bindings themselves line up.
Are we missing something?
Cheers,
Wendell

Hi,
I am new to XSLT. I have to group based on a node.
The source schema is a referenced Schema hence I am using Qualified
Name in XPath.
In a normal scenario we will use like
<xsl:variable name="unique-countries"
select="//cities/city[not(country=preceding-sibling::city/country)]/country"
/>
If using referenced schema then how to use the preceding sibling ???
<xsl:variable name="unique-countries"
select="/*[local-name()='cities' and
namespace-uri()='http://ABC/XYZ']/[local-name()='city' and
namespace-uri()='http://ABC/XYY'][not(country=preceding-sibling::city/country)]/*[local-name()='country'
and namespace-uri()='http://ABC/QWE']" />
Thanks in advance
