I used Kaysian method as described in this document (section 1c), sofar:

Now I wanted to use it similarly for nodesets from different parts of
document.
That does not work because /flags[1]/flag[.='A'] is not the same node
as /flags[2]/flag[.='A'].
Is it possible to get the flag with "A" for $int and flags for "A", "B" and
"C" for $uni?
If so, with keys?

The so-called Kaysian method is a way of doing identity-based node-set intersection and difference in XSLT 1.0, which does not offer the "intersect" and "except" operators.

You seem to be wanting to do equality-based intersection and difference, which is actually much simpler, for example

$x/ns1/flags/flag[not(. = $x/ns2/flags/flag)]

selects the flags that are in ns1 but not in ns2.
