Tempore 10:28:05, die 02/09/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com scripsit <David(_dot_)McKay(_at_)racalinstrumentsgroup(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk>:

<xsl:variable name="husband-birthday" select="../*[(_at_)wife=(_dot_)/@name]/@birth"/>

This would select all persons that have the same name as their wifes (that would be rather unlikely).

You could use this instead:

<xsl:variable name="husband-birthday" select="../*[(_at_)wife=current()/@name]/@birth"/>

but the key approach gives better performance.
