I will give it a try, but could someone comment on the predicate within predicate syntax used here? It is very rare - I never saw it beofre
   select="element[*[name()=$child and . = $value]]"
or:
   select="*[*[name()=$child and . = $value]]"

Just read it out loud: "Select every node named 'element' that itself has a node named $child and the value of that child node is $value."

  In psuedo-xml, it would select all "element" nodes that looked like
<element>
  <$child>$value</$child>
</element>

The outer predicate is a condition on which element objects to select. The inner predicate is a condition on which children of element to select (as a basis for selecting the parent itself).
