I fixed it for my purposes by doing it this way:
<xsl:variable name="num" select="count($platforms/platform)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to $num">
<xsl:variable name="n" select="position()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$root/map/concept/concept[@id =
$platforms/platform[$n]/@id]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
Then I get the output just once like this:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Thanks for the help in breaking some adhesions.

I think I've narrowed it down a bit. This code calls no templates:
<xsl:variable name="num" select="count($platforms/platform)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to $num">
<xsl:value-of select="$platforms/platform[position()]/@id"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
This outputs the following:
unique_2 unique_35 unique_37
unique_2 unique_35 unique_37
unique_2 unique_35 unique_37
Why does it repeat this 3 times instead of just once? If I remove one
of the nodes in $platforms so there are only 2 nodes, then I get this:
unique_2 unique_35
unique_2 unique_35
By the way, the @id's are repeated in the same file, but they are in
separate namespaces. It's not a structure of my making, it's a temp
file produced by the DITA Open Toolkit, if you happen to be familiar
with that.

Well, without seeing at least the code that matches <concept> and
the portion of the input that has <concept>, it's hard to impossible
to say. But my first guess would be that the code that matches
<concept id="unique_2"> generates one line of output for each
<platform>.
But a few odd things jump to mind:
* It would seem there is both a <platform> and a <concept> with
id=unique_2. While not necessarily invalid, most of us think of
the id= attribute as an ID attribute, and thus necessarily
unique. But even if your schema (unwisely, I daresay) permits
values of id= to be non-unique, it seems terribly misleading to
say in the value it self that it is unique, when it's not.
* The predicate "[@id = @id]" will never return false, and thus
seems a bit silly. (Perhaps you meant "[@id = $id]"? I've made
that mistake :-)
I'm running xsl:for-each on a variable $platforms that holds this:
<platform name="windows_xp" id="unique_2"/>
<platform name="windows_vista" id="unique_35"/>
<platform name="windows_7" id="unique_37"/>
The following code produces the same output 3 times for each node in
$platforms:
<xsl:for-each select="$platforms/platform">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="$root-of-input-file/map/concept/concept[@id = @id]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
So in the output I get this kind of thing:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
I was expecting to get one output for each element in
$platforms. If I use the following outside of xsl:for-each, I get
one output:
<xsl:apply-templates select="$root/map/concept/concept[@id =
'unique_2']"/>
What am I missing?
