RE: Selecting only those nodes whos attibutes contain

Does this reflect your situation?

Data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<doc>
  <some-node class="menublock-selected-true" />
  <some-node class="menublock-selected-false" />
  <some-node>
    <another-node class="menublock-selected-false" />
    <another-node />
  </some-node>
  <some-node />
</doc>

Stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />

  <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,'menublock-selected-')]">
    <output><xsl:value-of select="child::*/@class" /></output>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject:   Selecting only those nodes whos attibutes contain a given substring

I am having to write some XSLT that needs to decide if it needs to 
recurse into the contents of the current mode. Basically I am at a node 
and I only want to recurse into it if at least one of the child nodes 
has an attribute called "class" who's value contains the sub string 
"menublock-selected-". Otherwise I am going to skip this node.

The XML is part of an open source project so there is little chance of 
patching it up.

Any ideas?
