The way I'm thinking about doing this is to construct an xsl:key where the value of the key consists of a concatenation of all the @name of its children and then do a select on the key. However, I can't figure out what expression I should have for the use="" attribute of xsl:key, and

I don't think this can be solved with XSLT 1.0 and arbitrary numbers of children. If you can assert a fixed and preferably low maximum number of children, you can try use="concat(name(*[1]),'#',name(*[2]),name(*[3]))" etc. The # characters prevent spurious matches.
