xsl retrieving element name
I'm trying to create a stylesheet that would filter out the specific
attribute value by predicating method, and return the 
element node name that holds the specific attribute value.  An example of
this problem would be clarify my problem that
I'm trying to present.

<cars>
   <porsche maker="German"> pure racing </porsche>
   <lexus     maker="Japan"> luxury </lexus> 
   <ford       maker="USA"> economy</ford>
   <jaguar    maker="UK">high-end luxury	<jaguar>
</cars>
 

in my snippet stylesheet, I would like to test the case for attribute value
that is 'German' and get return of 'porsche' as the element name, how do I
approach this problem?

<xsl:if test="//*[@maker = 'German'] ">
  <!-- how would I retrieve element name 'porsche' -->
  <xsl:value-of select=????/>
</xsl:if>


thanks,.
Ming
