XSLT check if value contained in a array

I'm having a template which should only match the element PRA if it contains a <PRA.3> having the value 101, 103 or 104. My input looks like this:

<XML>
   <PRA>
      <PRA.3>101</PRA.3>
      <PRA.6>654</PRA.6>
   </PRA>
   <PRA>
      <!-- does not match -->
      <PRA.3>999</PRA.3>
      <PRA.6>654</PRA.6>
   </PRA>      
</XML>

The XSLT which works well:

<xsl:template match="PRA[PRA.3='101' or PRA.3='103' or PRA.3='104']">
   <!-- does match if PRA.3 equals 101,103,104 -->
</xsl:template>

This works well, but the values 101, 103 and 104 will appear in many more templates and can change.

Is it possible to add these values to a list and then make a contains? Here a sample code I'd like to use:

<MYARRAY>101,102,104</MYARRAY>
<xsl:template match="PRA[MYARRAY.contains(PRA.3/text())]">

</xsl:template>

In XSLT 2.0 what you want to do is actually rather simple and does not need contains or index-of:

<xsl:variable name="myArray" select="('101','102','104')"/>

<xsl:template match="PRA[PRA.3=$myArray]">

</xsl:template>

This will be sufficient.
