Matching atrtibute value to ancestor's attribute value?

xsl ancestor attribute
Is there any way to match an attribute's value to the value in an
ancestor's attribute?

For example, given the XML fragment:

<test version="1">
  <item version="2">this is version 2</item>
  <item version="1">this is version 1</item>
</test>

I'd like to write an XSL pattern (a match pattern, methinks) which will
match the <item> with the same version number as <test>.  Something like
item[attribute(version)]=test[attribute(version)], conceptually.

Is tihs possible?  If not, any recommendations on some sort of workaround?

Thanks,

dwh
