I'm not sure how inefficient this is, but 

  <xsl:variable name="anzrows" select="(//user/nokeyuser/name)[$anznokeyuser > $anzkeyuser]|(//user/keyuser/name)[not($anznokeyuser > $anzkeyuser)]" />

would so it, as would e.g.

  <xsl:variable name="anzrows2" select="//user/*[name() = concat(substring('no', 1 + not($anznokeyuser > $anzkeyuser) * 2), 'keyuser')]/name" />

but I'm not sure either one is the best solution for you problem.

Cheers,

Jarno - think I'll stick with this one from now on...
