I have several references in my stylesheet to a pattern that
resembles:
Node[(_at_)name='AA' or @name='BB']
With time, I continuously need to update this pattern to
include newer attributes @name='CC', @name='DD' and so on.
This will become much easier in XSLT 2.0 with functions:
<xsl:function name="with-matching-name">
<xsl:param name="node" as="element"/>
<xsl:result as="xs:boolean"
select="$node/@name = ('AA', 'BB', 'CC')"/>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:...... select="Node[with-matching-name(.)]
