comparing two nodes

I have everything working, but it seems there is probably an easier way to 
do it.
Here is my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<REPORT>
   <ENTRY>
       <CHECKENTRY id = '1'>
           <CHECK>
               <AMOUNT>10.00</AMOUNT>
               <ROUTING>
                   <NAME>Name</NAME>
                   <ADDRESS1>Address 1</ADDRESS1>
               </ROUTING>
           </CHECK>
       </CHECKENTRY>
       <CHECKENTRY id = '2'>
           <CHECK>
               <AMOUNT>9.00</AMOUNT>
               <ROUTING>
                   <NAME>Changed Name</NAME>
                   <ADDRESS1>Address 1</ADDRESS1>
               </ROUTING>
           </CHECK>
       </CHECKENTRY>
   </ENTRY>
</REPORT>

And the stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
   <xsl:output method="html"/>
  <xsl:template match="/REPORT">
           <xsl:for-each select="ENTRY">
              <xsl:if test="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/AMT !=   
CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/AMOUNT">
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/AMOUNT"/>
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/AMOUNT"/>
               </xsl:if>
               <xsl:if test="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/ROUTING/NAME != 
CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/ROUTING/NAME">
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/ROUTING/NAME"/>
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/ROUTING/NAME"/>
               </xsl:if>
               <xsl:if test="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/ROUTING/ADDRESS1 != 
CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/ROUTING/ADDRESS1">
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='1']/CHECK/ROUTING/ADDRESS1"/>
                   <xsl:value-of 
select="CHECKENTRY[(_at_)id='2']/CHECK/ROUTING/ADDRESS1"/>
               </xsl:if>
           </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In the real world scenario, each <CHECK> will have many children (nested at 
different levels) that I need to compare values on.
Right now the stylesheet compares each tag and if they are not equal outputs 
the value.
Is there a way to not have to specify each element name and just run through 
all of them?  I have control over both the stylesheet and xml.
Thanks for the help.
