Remove duplicates from a list by attribute

[Mitch Christensen <mitch_christensen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I know that a variation of this was posted previously, with a solution for sub-elements.  But given the following...

<a>
    <s name="foo" content="bar"/>
    <s name="fiz" content="baz"/>
</a>
<b>
    <s name="foo" content="bar"/>
    <s name="fiz" content="baz"/>
</b>

Does anyone know how to generate the following (removing dups)...

<s name="foo" content="bar"/>
<s name="fiz" content="baz"/>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
