Neat (though somewhat obscure!).  Might there be advantages (aside from
brevity) with using the same technique for testing for the first in a keyed
group using the Muenchian grouping method? i.e. instead of:

//tracker-id[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('tid',.)[1])]

use:

//tracker-id[count(.|key('tid',.)[1])=1]

Just a thought.

Cheers,
