Great this was exactly what I was looking for, BUT it does not work for me!
There seam to be two problems:
1. Saxon complains about ‘some’ after the ‘and’:
XPST0003: XPath syntax error at char 21 on line 279 in {*[name()=$filter and
some $}:
Unexpected token "some" in path expression
but here I get out using this much better syntax suggested by Michael Kay:
test="*[name()=$filter][. = $filter_value]”
2. so if I sum up these both tips, I end up with:
test="*[name()=$filter][some $value in $filter_value satisfies .=$value]”
which works correctly for filter_value holding only one string like:
<xsl:param name="filter_values" as="xs:string*" select=“Log”/>
but does not match any of them if filter_value holds e.g. two values:
<xsl:param name="filter_values" as="xs:string*" select="'Log', 'Info'”/>
So I guess I’m missing some concept on how to work with a ‘atomic’ type as
xs:string is to have the ‘some in satisfies’
properly iterate over it!?

I would like to allow to pass in a flexile number of values for the
‘filter_value’, like ‘Log’ or ‘Info’ to match the first two plus the
last entry. I guess the solution would be to do this in kind of a loop, but
how can this be done with ‘filter_value’ being a
simple XSL variable or is exactly this the weakness of the approach?
I’running Saxon version: 9.1.0.8 so that I’m able to use XSLT and XPath 2.0.
You can use
<xsl:if test="*[name()=$filter and some $value in $filter_values satisfies
contains(., $value)]”>
where you define <xsl:param name="filter_values" as="xs:string*"
select="'Log', 'Info'"/>.
