RE: matching on multiple attributes contained in a nod

Thanks for cleaning up my implementation, but -- unfortunately, I'm looking 
something that outputs 1 line for each and every student, not just the ones in 
the list.  I've altered your implementation to do this... but it suffers from 
the same problem as my initial implementation.

[input]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dftml version="0.2">
  <student>
     <name value="bob"/>
     <grade value="1"/>
     <type value="lunch"/>
  </student>
  <student>
     <name value="joe"/>
     <grade value="1"/>
     <type value="science"/>
  </student>
  <student>
     <name value="peter"/>
     <grade value="2"/>
     <type value="math"/>
  </student>
  <student>
     <name value="larry"/>
     <grade value="1"/>
     <type value="math"/>
  </student>
</dftml>

[modified xsl]
<?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:for-each select="student">
    <xsl:variable name="s" select="." />
    <xsl:for-each select="xalan:nodeset($list)/item">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$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:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:value-of select="$s/name/@value" />
         <xsl:text> is not in the list.&#xA;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

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

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

Thanks,
Carl
