xslt template match on child element value with specific attribute?

Lets say a have this basic xml document:

<result name="response" numFound="73" start="0">
    <doc>
        <str name="contentType">Content1</str>
        <str name="content">Some content here</str>
    </doc>
    <doc>
        <str name="contentType">Content2</str>
        <str name="content">Some other content</str>
    </doc>
</result>

I plan to use a different template for each content type. What are the template match arguments? I haven't been able to figure out how to match for the other children of doc when only the contentType field is a specific value.

It sounds like what you're going for is something like this:

<xsl:template match="doc[str[@name = 'contentType'] = 'Content1']
                     /str[name = 'Content']">
   <!-- Process Content1 content str -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="doc[str[@name = 'contentType'] = 'Content2']
                     /str[name = 'Content']">
   <!-- Process Content2 content str -->
</xsl:template>

Or perhaps something like this?

<xsl:template match="doc[str[@name = 'contentType'] = 'Content1']">
   <!-- Process Content1 doc -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="doc[str[@name = 'contentType'] = 'Content2']">
   <!-- Process Content2 doc -->
</xsl:template>

Would either of those be what you're looking for?
