Re: [xsl] Find several different attribute values on many elements

["dvint@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is where I'm at now

<xsl:variable name="ditacollectionString"
	select="concat($srcPath, '?select=(*.dita|*.xml)')"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="CONDITIONS" >
	<xsl:for-each
		select="collection($ditacollectionString)/*" >
		<xsl:apply-templates mode="conditions"/>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:for-each select="distinct-values(tokenize($CONDITIONS, ' '))">
	<xsl:sort/>
	<xsl:if test="not(. ='')">
		<xsl:value-of select="$spaceTAB"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="$spaceTAB"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>:     true</xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="$RETURN"/>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="text()" mode="conditions"/>

	<xsl:template match="p" mode="conditions">
		<xsl:if test="@product">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@product, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="@audience">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@audience, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="@platform">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@platform, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="@props">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@props, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="@otherprops">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@otherprops, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:if test="@rev">
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(@rev, ' ')"/>
		</xsl:if>

	</xsl:template>

This is working fine when I have the template match on "p". My problem 
is these attributes can appear on all of the elements in the content and 
more than one can appear on a given element.

So I tried substitution p with element() and with * and those fail to 
produce anything.

Various forms of this didn't work either

	<xsl:template match="p/@product | p/@audience" mode="conditions">
		<xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
	</xsl:template>

Thoughts?
