Hi Colin,
Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seem to work for my example. I
tried this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="seq1">
<one>1</one>
<two>2</two>
<three>3</three>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="seq2">
<one>1</one>
<two>2</two>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="($seq1/one, $seq1/two, $seq1/three) except
($seq2/one, $seq2/two)" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This produces output:
1, 2, 3
But I am expecting:
3
The problem I think is: $seq1/one and $seq2/one are different nodes;
as they belong to different trees.
Do you have any ideas, how to resolve this issue?
Ken's technique (which I initially proposed) works for me. But I want
to explore the possibility of using 'except' operator for this
problem.

You can use a temporary tree.
Something like:
<xsl:variable name="integers">
<one>1</one>
<two>2</two>
<three>3</three>
</xsl:variable>
Now your set of 1,2,3 can be coded as:
($integers/one, $integers/two, $integers/three)
