Thanks, but I find the spec completely unreadable on that topic.  Can I
avoid that by using variables, like this:

  <xsl:variable name="specific-status"
                select="specific_status"/>
  <xsl:variable name="title-lang"
                select="title_list/title[@type='TITLE'][1][@lang]"/>
...
  [@status=$specific-status and @lang=$title-lang]
