[xsl] Checking node value against splitted string/list?

Something I do often is check the value or name of a node against a list of strings. For example, I might check to see whether the name of the current node is in ('firstname', 'lastname', 'email').

At the moment, I'm using the following:

<xsl:if test="name(.) = 'firstname' or name(.) = 'lastname' or name(.) = 'email'"> ... </xsl:if>

Is there anyway I can do this more simply using XPath 1 and EXSLT? I'm thinking something along the lines of:

<xsl:if test="inlist(name(.), ('firstname', 'lastname', 'email'))"> ... </xsl:if>
