What I'm doing is

select="document('')/*/data:definitions/term[@name = name()]"

(where the attribute matches the node name).

The input is like:

 <times>
   <mst>some time value</mst>
   <utc>another time value</utc>
 </times>

But it doesn't work! Everything else is as you suggested.
Are @name and name() comparable as strings?
