</xsl:call-template>
The set:distinct function returns a subset of the nodes contained in the node-set NS passed as the first argument. Specifically, it selects a node N if there is no node in NS that has the same string value as N, and that precedes N in document order.
The set:distinct template applies templates to these nodes in set:distinct 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.
