This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but it seems to do the job,
at least for IE5. Given the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="cddoc.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<cd_doc>
        <entries>
          <entry no="1" path="/cdrom/stugg/long
path/moretext/python_stuff.tar.gz"/>
          <entry no="5" path="/cdrom/stugg/long
path/moretext/python_stuff.tar.gz"/>
          <entry no="21" path="/cdrom/stugg/long
path/moretext/python_stuff.tar.gz"/>
        </entries>
</cd_doc>

The following XSL stylesheet will find entries with "no" attributes matching 1,
21, or 1432 and display the line "Here's an entry".

<xsl:template xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
xmlns:qxsl="quote:http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>
 <html><head><title>CD Stuff</title></head>
  <body>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="/*"/>
  </body>
 </html>

 <xsl:define-template-set>

  <xsl:template match="cd_doc">
      <h1>Result of search</h1>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="entries">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="entry[@no = 1 or @no = 21 or @no = 1432]" />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="entry">
   <h2>Here's an entry</h2>

   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

 </xsl:define-template-set>

</xsl:template>

Hope this helps.
