you could make a variable that concatenates all the different

<xsl:template match="client/race[contains($raceList,.)]

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:

And Micheal Kay answered with a reference to his book:

My copy of the book is the second edition as where I believe by the date
of the message he was referring to the first. Anyone know where I can
find said example in the new edition or know of a more elegant solution
then using contains() on a concatenated list or the brute force for-each
method?
