"all" or "any" ?

If you have [1] then only one will be used, the first one
for which their is a hit (using the fact that xslt2 sequences are
ordered, the order of strings in the sequence controls which you try first)
If you mean that you want _all_ of the first four to be applied if
elements with all those attributes are there then you'd need a different
syntax.

I don't carry a picture of your input in mmy head so I have trouble
mapping the english "optional types" to any part of that expression but
perhaps

<xsl:apply-templates
select="$style-biblio/(for $t in ('article-newspaper','article')
                 return cs:reftype[not(@nherit-from)][@name=$t] )[1]/cs:*">

A long time since I did any electronics but some kind of electron state
change in some silicon somewhere.

I just meant replace ('article-newspaper','article') by $foo

and have 
<xsl:variable name="foo" select="('article-newspaper','article')"/>
