RE: matching on multiple attributes contained in a nod

Jarno,

Thanks to your re-organization of my implemtation I was able to discern a 
solution that works.  Here's what I ended up doing.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan" exclude-result-prefixes="xalan" 
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:variable name="list">
<item grade="1" type="math"/>
<item grade="2" type="science"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/dftml">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="student"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/dftml/student">
   <xsl:variable name="s" select="." />
   <xsl:variable name="validList">
      <xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($list)/item[$s/grade/@value=@grade and 
$s/type/@value=@type]">
         <xsl:copy-of select="$s" />
      </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:value-of select="name/@value"/>
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="xalan:nodeset($validList)/node()">
         <xsl:text> is in the list.&#xA;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:text> is not in the list.&#xA;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

[output]
bob is not in the list.
joe is not in the list.
peter is not in the list.
larry is in the list.
