Right - the data is sorted but it is the amalgamation of two different
data sources with one appended to the other.
Obviously two sorted files with one appended to the other = an
unsorted file. Any duplicates that are not consecutive are not real
duplicates in my use case.
My thanks to everybody esp Dimitre (who was the first) that tried this
out and helped me get to the bottom of this.

I illustrated with a cut down version of the input. When I ran with
that I too only got allison-benedikt.
So now that I have a bit more faith in what I programmed, there are
more records.
The data is supposed to be in alphabetical order ... it looks like it
is ..... but it actually is not because when I search the rest of the
input there is another record for Mr/Ms Das in it.
So the code is correct.... I was deceived by the data not being in
sequence when I thought it was.
Thank you all.

Your XSLT processor must be broken.
With XslCompiledTransform (.NET), MSXML 3, MSXML 4, AltovaXML
and this transformation (because you didn't provide the templates that
are selected by the <xsl:apply-templates>):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:key name="person" match="a" use="@href"/>
<xsl:template match="person">
<duplicate>
<xsl:copy-of select="a[key('person',@href)[2]]"/>
</duplicate>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get the same result:
<duplicate>
<a href="/person/allison-benedikt/"/>
<a href="/person/allison-benedikt/"/>
</duplicate>
