you could make a variable that concatenates all the different
values you'd like to test for and use contains() to do the
test.
[...]
I could but that will not behave exactly like I would like for every
possible input. I can get the exact results I desire with a pair of
for-each loops and a variable containing a node set, but I was hoping
for something "clean". It looks like nearly the exact same
question was
asked here:

The two cases aren't the same - if I've understood, you want an exact
match, and Steve was searching for terms within the entire text content
of a node, and there you really do need contains(), which means for-
eaches as well, because contains evaluates node-sets in string context, ie,
the string value of the first node of the set.
Whereas, if you want an exact match you can just do this
match="foo[.=$terms/term]"
and that will match if foo's value is the same as any of the term nodes
in $terms.
it might work
