Indeed, given the semantics of '=' (for node value comparison) and '|' 
(union operation over node sets or sequences) this could be refactored:

<xsl:if test="(myfield/field_is_available/data |
               myfield/seconsfield_is_available/data) = 'Yes'">

or, in XPath 2.0:

myfield/(field_is_available|seconsfield_is_available)/data = 'Yes'

Cheers,
Wendell
