RE: [xsl] Wrapping a Condition around a literal result element

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you've made it more difficult than it is.

>name elements 
> that exist in every section (but do not contain the string 
> 'new entry') 

that's

distinct-values(/sections/section/name)
                 [not(contains(., 'new entry')]
                 [every $s in /sections/section satisfies $s/name = .])

So you assign this expression to a variable $ubiquitous-names and then do

<xsl:if test="exists($ubiquitous-names)">
  <section name="allsections">
    <xsl:for-each select="$ubiquitous-names">
