I have cut the problem down to this:
I have
<usecase>
  <item>
    <alt>1</alt>
  </item>
  <item>
  </item>
  <item>
    <alt>2</alt>
  </item>
  <itemcontainer>
  </itemcontainer>
</usecase>

And I want to select the "item" containing an "alt" with a given number. The 
location where I want to use the info is in "itemcontainer".

I tought of something like this:
ancestor::usecase/*/alt[(_at_)number = $number]
where the $number is the number I want to select.
But the value of the number in the alt is not really a attribute. I tried to 
put it as an attribute
<xsl:attribute name="number">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:attribute>
That didn't work.

How should I do it?
