Selection of unique nodes

The "except" operator takes two sequences of nodes as operands and returns a sequence containing all the nodes that occur in the first operand but not in the second operand.

Combination of "union" and "except" operator may be sometimes useful as demonstrated in the zzz example.

XSLT

      <xsl:stylesheet

                  version="2.0">
            <xsl:output  method="xml"

                        omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

            <xsl:template  match="/aaa">
                  <xxx>
                        <xsl:value-of  select="* except ccc"/>
                  </xxx>
                  <yyy>
                        <xsl:value-of  select="* except *[2]"/>
                  </yyy>
                  <zzz>
                        <xsl:value-of  select="* except (bbb|ccc)"/>
                  </zzz>
            </xsl:template>

      </xsl:stylesheet>
XML

      <aaa>
            <bbb>B1</bbb>
            <bbb>B2</bbb>
            <ccc>C1</ccc>
            <ccc>C2</ccc>
            <ddd>D1</ddd>
