I set about eliminating duplicate lines (where I have defined a

But this is not eliminating the duplicates.
Now I know there are other ways of doing this but I'm interested in
finding the flaw in the code above.
Use the "=" operator and all preceding sibling line elements:
<xsl:template match="line[title[1] = preceding-sibling::line/title[
1]]"/>
<xsl:template match="line">
<xsl:apply-templates select="title[1]"/>
</xsl:template>

One of the variations I had tried before. It does not work.
