using xpath

[tom john <cy...@yahoo.com>]

hi,

i have xml file similar to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<addbook>
   	<person>
   		<firstname>AAA</name>
   		<lastname>ZZZ</lastname>
   		<telephone>11111</telephone>
   	</person>
	<person>
   		<firstname>BBB</name>
   		<lastname>YYY</lastname>
   		<telephone>22222</telephone>
   	</person>
   	<person>
   		<firstname>CCC</name>
   		<lastname>XXX</lastname>
   		<telephone>33333</telephone>
   	</person>
</addbook>

I would like to get the person node when i give the
first and the last name. 

for example if i give:
firstname = BBB & lastname = YYY

i should get 

<person>
  <firstname>BBB</name>
  <lastname>YYY</lastname>
  <telephone>22222</telephone>
</person>


Is it possible using XPath? How?
Hope someone can help.

tom

Generic questions such as these should be referred to the Mulberry list
(http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html).

Thanks,
