normalize as part of a 'select-distinct' in a for-each?

["Clark C. Evans" <clark.evans@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I modified David Carlisle's example (FAQ 2.4) to use 
normalize() since whitespace distinctions are not desired.
However, when I add normalize(), the stylesheet stops 
returning the expected "XYZ" and instead gives "XXXXYZZ" 
What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

... the stylesheet ...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0";
                xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt";
                extension-element-prefixes="xt">
  <xsl:template match="root">
    <xsl:for-each select="//c[not(normalize(text())
                          =normalize(following::c/text()))]" >
      <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="." />
      <xsl:value-of select="." />
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

.... the input file ...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <a>   
    <b id="101" >
      <c>X</c>
    </b>
