It was definitively added to my bookmark list.

[Good explanations of the algorithm]

It is the same way as the one given by Oliver Becker, except he proposed 
using generate-id() instead of the union of the nodes. I don't know if it 
is any faster or slower. However, I find it more readable.

I really don't have an idea (pehaps it was me), but the error was 
specifically that the processor couldn't map nodelist to boolean, and I was 
trying the different solutions at that time sent to me at that time. My 
Processor is Oracle v2 parser.
