these two lists could be quite long and this is in the middle of a load of
logic. All I need here is a True/False. It doesnbt have to be an exact match
just as long as it matches the FamilyName.


   <xsl:template match="SplitNameList">
     <xsl:variable name="test">
       <xsl:for-each select="SplitName/FamilyName">
         <xsl:value-of
select="boolean(/XML/FulNameList/FullName[contains(., current())])"/>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:variable>
     <xsl:if test="contains($test, 'true')">..</xsl:if>
   </xsl:template>
