Hi, Eric,
Here is more of a "push" approach (assuming you are able to use XSLT
2.0+)--which I highly recommend whenever working with XSLT.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="session"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="presentation">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="person">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:sequence
select="
string-join(
(distinct-values(for $a in following-sibling::affiliation
return
$a)), '|'
)
"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:sequence select="../paper"/>
<xsl:if test="position() ne last()">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="affiliation"/>
<xsl:template match="paper"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
