I have the following XML.

             </SplitNameList>
             <FulNameList>
                         <FullName>DAVID JONES</FullName>
                         <FullName>ANDREW J SMITH</FullName>
                         <FullName>JOHN SMITH</FullName>
             </FulNameList>
</XML>

I need to know if any of the Family Names match in the two lists. Either of these two 
lists could be quite long and this is in the middle of a load of logic. All I need 
here is a True/False. It doesn’t have to be an exact match just as long as it 
matches the FamilyName.


  <xsl:template match="SplitNameList">
    <xsl:variable name="test">
      <xsl:for-each select="SplitName/FamilyName">
<xsl:value-of select="boolean(/XML/FulNameList/FullName[contains(., current())])"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:if test="contains($test, 'true')">..</xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
