you are not going to like the answer...

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($variable, '0')">
     ...do something... 0
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($variable, '1')">
     ...do something... 1 
</xsl:when>
.
.
.


or if you want to do the same thing in all ten cases, then not much nicer

   <xsl:if test="
      starts-with($variable, '0') or  starts-with($variable, '1') or ...
         ">
     ...do something...
   </xsl:if>
