You were on the right track WRT to the expression-part, however, it all
depends on context.
The following XPath expression:

//entry[child::audience/internal]/contents

would select *all* of the relevant nodes in the document.

And so, you would normally not need an <xsl:if .../>, but instead go for
something like:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//entry[child::audience/internal]/contents />
...
<xsl:template match="contents">
  <!-- whatever you want to do with them -->
</xsl:template>


Cheers,
