RE: Comparing One element's text to multiple elements'

An imaginative guess, but guessing the XPath syntax for something rarely
gives you the right answer.

You just need <xsl:if test="value1 = value2/option">

The "=" operator in XPath compares all the nodes on the left against all the
nodes on the right and returns true if any pair matches.

The predicate N[*] means N[boolean(child::*)] and selects every N that has
at least one child element.
