Yes.  I want to get all of those elements as a node set, and loop through
them.

So, in essence, are you looping through your XML data and checking to
see if any Attendance elements further down in the tree have the same
first and last name combination and if so bring them together to be
processed as a group/unit?

I've looked at the FAQ and can't seem to find an exact answer.  I am
trying
to generate all nodes who contain two specific children nodes.  I'm
thinking
that using a key would be the best method, but it doesn't seem right to
me
to use multiple keys.

For instance, if I have:

<Attendance>
	<FirstName>Bill</FirstName>
	<LastName>Smith</LastName>
	... some other important data
</Attendance>

Assuming FirstName + LastName is a unique identifier, how can I find all
<Attendance> such that Attendance/LastName == LastName being processed
and
Attendance/FirstName == FirstName being processed?

Thanks
