This is slightly more complicated as I work on it ...

"all" or "any" ?

If you have [1] then only one will be used, the first one for which their is a hit (using the fact that xslt2 sequences are ordered, the order of strings in the sequence controls which you try first) If you mean that you want _all_ of the first four to be applied if elements with all those attributes are there then you'd need a different syntax.

The logic is as follows:

All records have a class and a type. Class has to be deduced algorithmically, while type is based strictly on the value of mods:genre.

OK, so I have my variables that group types by class, like so:

<xsl:variable name="refclass-partInSerial"
     select="('article-newspaper','legal case','bill','article')"/>

.... and then, per David's (and Jeni's) suggestion, an apply-template like this:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$style-biblio/(for $t in $refclass-partInSerial return cs:reftype[not(@inherit-from)][@name=$t])[1]/(cs:* except cs:creator)"> <xsl:with-param name="source" select="."/> </xsl:apply-templates>

But, of course, this isn't quite right. What I need it to say is:

- if the mods:genre=some value, and that value has an equivalent style definition, then use it - if not, then default to "article" (which is required)

Most of the time, it would be using he default.

So at it's most basic:

if mods:genre='legal case' and cs:reftype/@name='legal case' exists, use it, etc.

An additional complication is that the values of the mods:genre and cs:reftype/@name might not always quite line up.
