Is there a way to select an element via a variable attribute and compare the value of that variable attribute to a string?

What I'm looking for would kind of look like the code below (if it was legal to use an ATV for attribute names).

/a/*[@{$attrName} = 'someString']

/a/*[@*[name()=$attrName][.='someString]]

Brain teasers like this are in my XSLT course ... I'll think about adding this one!

I hope this helps.
