Thank you, Darkman, for contributing this style sheet function which is 
indeed very useful for checking a paragraph's style in WordprocessingML 
in a call like this:

<xsl:template match="w:p[my:p-style(.) eq 'BodyHeading']">
...

I suggest using "=" instead of "eq", because of the general comparison 
behaviour of "=" (described here: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#id-general-comparisons - thank you and MK 
for this URL!). It thus allows to test against several styles at once, 
when they are contained in a sequence:

<xsl:template
  match="w:p[my:p-style(.) = ('Heading5', 'Heading6')]">
...

As a matter of taste, I prefer putting the comparison operator rather 
inside the function definition than into each call:

<xsl:function name="my:match-p-style" as="xs:boolean">
  <xsl:param name="node" as="element()"/>
  <xsl:param name="styles"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$node/w:pPr/w:pStyle/@w:val = $styles"/>
</xsl:function>


<xsl:template
  match="w:p[my:match-p-style(., 'BodyHeading')]">
...

<xsl:template
  match="w:p[my:match-p-style(., ('Heading5', 'Heading6'))]">
...


Has somebody further improvements to suggest, which might perhaps reduce 
the amount of redundant code even more?
