RE: [xsl] global types - controlying repetitions with a temp var?

No, that's the procedural way of doing it. You have to change your thinking!
You have to think of the output as a function of the input (or perhaps, as a
function of some intermediate data structure that is itself a function of
the input). One way of doing this is for the intermediate data structure to
contain duplicate types, and for the next phase of processing to eliminate
the duplicates (using the standard Muenchian technique if you're stuck with
1.0). But there may well be a better way that avoids generating the
duplicates in the first place. Ask yourself the question "I want one type in
the output for every .... ?" (perhaps "for every set of E having the same
property P")
