Wow guys thats incredible! Thank you so very much for your help. I'm
restricted to using XPath 1.0 due to compatibility issues with JBoss and our
framework. But thanks to this neat little script courtesy of David is a
blessing.
I knew I was supposed to use keys, but I wasn't using it properly. The
use="concat(@name,' ',@type)"
is brilliant! And I wasn't using generateID correctly either. If you could
be so kind as to explain how this statement works, I would greatly
appreciate it.
<xsl:for-each
select="//xsd:element[generate-id()=generate-id(key('allElements',concat(@name,'
',@type,' ',@ref)))]">
(dont mind the subtle changes)
From my understanding, it is selecting all (or each??) elements whose
generated ID equals an ID value generated from corresponding key value.
OR is it selecting the entire element collection whose ID equals the ID of
the entire key collection (this seems to make more sense)
Thank you everyone for your help!

see muenchian grouping
<xsl:key name="k" match="xsd:element" use="concat(@name,' ',@type)"/>
<xsl:template match"/">
<uniqueElements>
<xsl:for-each
select="//xsd:element[generate-id()=generate-id(key('k',concat(@name,'
',@type)))]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@name|@type"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</uniqueElements>
</xsl:template>
should be all you need.
David
