But you can just write: <xsl:if test="self::firstname or self::lastname or self::email"> or if you prefer <xsl:if test="self::firstname|self::lastname|self::email"> Note that the self::xxx form is a better way of testing the element name than name()='xxx', because (a) it's namespace-aware, and (b) it's easier to optimize. The two reasons are related - the only reason that the test name()='xxx' can't be rewritten as self::xxx is that the former expression has to check the prefix rather than the namespace URI. Implementations are likely to be optimized for checking the URI, because that's what happens most of the time - there are very few operations in XPath that require access to the prefix.
