Intersection compares node identity, not node content, so the intersection
of a set of elements and a set of attributes will always be empty.
To find the elements whose string-values are present among the string values
of a given set of attributes, use
$elements[. = $attributes]

Subject: [xsl] intersection of different node types
Is it meaningful to take the intersection of a sequence of
element nodes
and a sequence attribute nodes, like this:
<xsl:variable
name="intersection"
select="a/b intersect c/@d"/>
The intent is to match their string values, so would
something like this
be better:
<xsl:variable
name="intersection"
select="a/b/text() intersect c/@d/text()"/>
Thanks!
