Your <city> elements are not siblings of each other, and they are
definitely not siblings of a contents element. Change
<xsl:for-each
> select="contents/entry/city[not(.=preceding-sibling::contents/
> entry/city)]">
to
<xsl:for-each
> select="contents/entry[not(city=preceding-sibling::entry/city)]">
Your code is going from a city element to a preceding-sibling::contents,
which is obviously wrong.
