Suppose the input is:

<root>
	<list1>
		<node id="1">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="2">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="3">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="4">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="5">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="6">....stuff....</node>
	</list1>
	<list2>
		<node id="1">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="2">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="3">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="4">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="5">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="6">....stuff....</node>
	</list2>
	<list3>
		<node id="1">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="2">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="3">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="4">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="5">....stuff....</node>
		<node id="6">....stuff....</node>
	</list3>
</root>

Than you can construct the test-result string with:

<xsl:variable name="test-result">
	<xsl:for-each select="/root/list2/node">
		<xsl:value-of select="number(@id mod 2=0)"/>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>

The test itself is contained inside the 'number()' function. In this example it checks wether the id number is even or odd, producing '010101'

('1' and '0' are easier to construct than 'Y' and 'N' - no additional tests needed)
