Re: [xsl] Grouping - using Referenced Schema

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karthik,

Why not bind your namespaces to prefixes in the usual way and use 
them accordingly?

This doesn't appear to me to be about schemas as such, but only about 
the fact that your elements are in a namespace. So

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xys="http://ABC/XYZ"; xmlns:xyy="http://ABC/XYY";
  xmlns:qwe="http://ABC/QWE"; ...

...

<xsl:variable name="unique-countries" 
select="/xyz:cities/xyy:city[not(qwe:country=preceding-sibling::xyy:city/qwe:country)]/qwe:country"

(Though one would hope that each of these three element types would 
not be in its own peculiar namespace.)

The important point here is that the namespace prefixes don't have to 
be identical with those in the source documents as long as the 
namespace bindings themselves line up.

Are we missing something?

Cheers,
Wendell
