The "classic" approach is to concatenate the names, with a separator to
prevent cross-name spoofing. Then use contains() in the predicate.
testXSLT -PARAM Missing "'Fred+John+Ed+Frieda'" -IN etc.
...
select="REGISTER/DEATILS[contains($Missing,@name)]"
I assume that you can construct the necessary string for the -PARAM.
A leading or trailing + wouldn't affect the result.
