If the text content of the element is all you care about, you could do
something like this:
<xsl:variable name="distinctDates">
<xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(A/Date | B/Date)">
<xsl:sort/>
<Date><xsl:value-of select="."/></Date>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$distinctDates/Date"/>

I have Date elements coming from 2 different parents.
<A>
<Date>blah</Date>
</A>
<B>
<Date>blah</Date>

I am doing
<xsl:apply-templates select="A/Date | B/Date>
<xsl:sort select="." order="ascending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
and
<xsl:template match="Date">
etc
</xsl:template>
I have noticed that when A and B have a child element of the same date
the Date template gets fired on each occasion, whereas I only want it
fired once
I thought the union operator in the apply-templates would have the
effect of eliminating duplicates or aren't they duplicates if they
have the same content but come from different parents.
