for-each question/IE5

With the following XML document, I need to create HTML output that shows all
the possible Languages as options in a select box, with the Person's
Languages selected.

Using a for-each loop, I can populate the select options, no problem.
However, I am having trouble also checking the Person languages while in
that loop in order to mark options as selected.
I'm using IE5 (ack) and apparently, xsl:variable is not supported.

Does anyone have an idea of how to do this using IE5?  Weird kludgey fixes
are more than welcome - this is the last page I need to complete, and I'm
truly at a loss at this point...
I've tried some comparisons using the $any$ operator, but have had no luck
with that either.

Thanks.

XML:
<MCRoot>
	<Lists>
		<Languages>
			<Language value="French"/>
			<Language value="English"/>
			<Language value="German"/>
			<Language value="Russian"/>
			<Language value="Spanish"/>
		</Languages>
	</Lists>
	<Person>
		<Languages>
			<Language value="English"/>
			<Language value="Spanish"/>
		</Languages>
	</Person>
</MCRoot>

XSL:
<SELECT size="10">
<xsl:for-each select="/MCRoot/Lists/Languages/Language">
	<OPTION>
***** This is where I've been trying to set the selected attribute with no
luck ********
	<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
	</OPTION>
</xsl:for-each>
</SELECT>
