Solved. Templates were being applied to a single line element hence it had
no siblings.
Fix was to change the scope of the xsl:variable so that it entailed
multiple line elements.

Yes and it works when i use Saxon 9.5 whatever against the XML snippet
that I posted.
Unfortunately for me that is not how the XML manifests, rather it is the
product of some intermediate step and pipelined through a variable.
i.e the XML you saw is actually the content of a variable (call it $line)
which is the subject of an apply-templates as in <xsl:apply-templates
select="$line"/> where $line contains the posted XML.
Now that shouldn't make a difference but duplicates aren't being
eliminated in this scenario.
So the plot thickens.

Use the "=" operator and all preceding sibling line elements:

One of the variations I had tried before. It does not work.
When I use Saxon 6.5.5 against your posted input sample and the stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="line[title[1] = preceding-sibling::line/title[
1]]"/>
<xsl:template match="line">
<xsl:apply-templates select="title[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get the output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

La última parada (Lo peor de todo)
Polvo Eres
"7 días al desnudo"
"7 vidas"
which looks fine to me as for eliminating the duplicates.
