Actually, I wasn't understanding how the preceding axis was working, nor exactly how your posted code. So I left out the position conditional, which was the problem. This works:
<xsl:function name="bib:ibid" as="xs:boolean"> <xsl:param name="citation" as="node()"/> <xsl:value-of select="$citation/db:biblioref/@linkend = $citation/preceding::db:biblioref[1]/@linkend"/> </xsl:function>
Cheers, Wendell
