Removing nodes based on a element

Need to remove duplicates in a xml file based on a element's value.
Just use the first node with the element in the resulting list;
Here is a sample xml:
<list> <book> <name>Title1</name> <author>Tom</author> </book> <book> <name>Title2</name> <author>Tom</author> </book> <book> <name>Title3</name> <author>Jim</author> </book> <book> <name>Title4</name> <author>Jim</author> </book> </list> -------------------------------------
The result needs to be:
Title1 Tom
Title3 Jim
In this case use the first occurance of the 'Author' element.
How can i accomplish this in xslt?
Any hints on which xsl functions i can use for this?
Thanks in Advance,
Rajiv

Consider the answer to the identical question posted on the Sun forum.

Paul,
Yes, I did find the solution for the xml I posted
I have listed the same below for anyone interested.
<xsl:variable name="unique-list" select="//book[not(author=following::book/author)]"/> <xsl:template match="list"> <html><body><table border="1"> <xsl:for-each select="$unique-list"> <tr><td> <xsl:value-of select="name" /> </td><td> <xsl:value-of select="author" /> </td></tr> </xsl:for-each> </table></body></html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
Cheers,
Rajiv
