Hi ppl,

I get an xml document from an external source over which i don't have control

<news>
	<article id="_1234567890">
		<headline>...
		<body>...
	</article>
	 <article>
	 ...
</news>

I use an XSLT that simply matches every element

now my problem, sometime duplicate articles appear in the XML,
with the same ID resulting in the following error:

The ID '_1234567890' is duplicated.

is there a way to do a xsl-variant of the sql 'select distinct' 
or another method to get rid of these duplicate id's
