Hi Wendell,

I agree with every statement in your message.

At the same time, I believe, that the OP wouldn't have posted the
question in case he was allowed to use XSLT 2 -- as it is obvious that
in XSLT 2 one should use the <xsl:for-each-group> instruction.

In the unlikely case that someone is using XSLT 2 and still trying to
use keys for grouping, this most probably means that such person isn't
aware of the existence of the <xsl:for-each-group> instruction.

Oh Wendell and just for bonus that the same thread that articulates
what I hate about except.


OP is using XSLT 2. OP only wants to find what things have duplicates.
Thats not a grouping problem, it's a problem that a certain variant of
for-each-group happens to solve but it's not the simplest way of
solving it.
