<xsl:template match="dftml">
  <xsl:for-each select="student">
    <xsl:variable name="s" select="." />
    <xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($list)/item[$s/grade/@value = @grade and $s/type/@value = @type]">
      <xsl:value-of select="$s/name/@value" />
      <xsl:text> is in the list.&#xA;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

You should consider switching from xalan:nodeset to exslt:node-set. Also, if the $list is passed as a parameter, you shouldn't need to use node-set extensions. Hope this helps,

Cheers,
