The set:difference function returns the difference between two node sets - those nodes that are in the node set passed as the first argument that are not in the node set passed as the second argument.
The set:difference template applies templates to these nodes in set:difference mode. By default, the nodes are copied by this template, so that a result tree fragment consisting of the nodes is returned.
An implementation of this extension
function
in the EXSLT set namespace must conform to the behaviour described in this document.
