Its going to make your life easier if you have an input string:
"scott,john," (i.e. ending on a comma).

This should do the job fairly efficiently.

=================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://,,,">

<xsl:parameter name="searchList"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ROOT">
	<ROOT><xsl:apply-templates /></ROOT>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="employee">
	<xsl:if test="contains($searchList, concat(emp/text(), ','))">
		<employee group="{@group}">
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</employee>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="wing">
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="emp">
	<xsl:if test="contains($searchList, concat(text(), ','))">
		<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

=================================

Hmmm. There is probably a more elegant way using xsl:copy-of, but I
can't think of it offhand...

[I haven't even checked this as being wellformed, but it should work]

Rgs,
