A statement like <xsl:value-of select="person"/> won't help because I
have a lot of nodes of the type PERSON.
If I have a node already selected I may use <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
It's no problem to do it by for each ( <xsl:for-each select="person"> ).
But I look for a way to pick a person out of the list, i.e. "Betty".
That's xpath basics, what you need is just person[(_at_)name='Betty'], what
means in english "Select all person elements children of the current
node, which have attribute name with string value 'Betty'".
For more info see xpath recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath.
