Is there a way to something similar to this to get the distinct years for published nodes?

<xsl:variable name="list" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(10)//* [name() = 'NewsItemDoctype']" />

<xsl:variable name="uniquelist" select="$list//umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(@createDate,
 'yyyy')[not(.=following::umbraco.library:FormatDateTime(@createDate, 
'yyyy'))]"/>

<xsl:for-each select="$uniquelist">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

This worked for me:

    <xsl:variable name="years" select="$currentPage/node[not(preceding-sibling::node/data [@alias = 'issueYear'] = data [@alias = 'issueYear'])]/data [@alias = 'issueYear']" />

Not based on @createDate, but you get the idea.

I think this is a case for the so-called Muenchean method. Personally, I would just write an XSLT extension too much logic for XSLT to handle really.

+1 for Sebastiaans suggestion. When first starting with Umbraco I ended up with a very messy XSLT and refactored that to a single human readable line in c# :P
