I want to test whether the context node, which is an <author> element with the
form (first?, middle?, last), is equal to one of a set of <person> elements.
By "equal" I mean having the same child elements and values of these elements.
At first, I thought it would be as easy as

Wolfhart,

How about this (not very cool):

test="concat(path/person/first, '|', path/person/first, '|',
path/person/first)
    = concat(first, '|', middle, '|', last)"
