Subject: Selecting an Attribute Based on Conditions of a Subsequent Node

I am trying to select an attribute from a list of nodes that is conditional based on the contents of a node below it.
Here is the sample XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Account>
<NodeName Name="Acme">
<NodeType Value="Primary"/>
</NodeName>
<NodeName Name="Widget">
<NodeType Value="Secondary"/>
</NodeName>
</Account>
What I want is to select @Name from NodeName based on the @Value attribute in the NodeType element. In other words, I want to determine which @Name attribute is Primary and which one is Secondary. This XML is generated out of a database so its format is not very good and not always sorted. This prevents me from doing this based strictly on position.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
