RE: [xsl] Nodes and Strings

["Aron Bock" <aronbock@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

See Sal mangano's "XSLT Cookbook" from O'Reilly publishing.  It has recipes 
for set intersection, difference, etc.  Even if you don't buy the book, the 
XSL recipes themselves are downloadable from O'Reilly's website.  You should 
be able to find it by Googling.
