Not a nice way, but if you have only two values, you can do the
following trick:

saxon -o xsample.xml sample.xml profile.xsl "os=Windows" "attr=os"
"val=UNIX"

Implementing user-friendly way ("os=Windows;UNIX") is not so easy as
XSLT doesn't have data types like array or list.

profile.xsl is free and small piece of software. It currently doesn't
provide same functionality as 700 USD Epic. ;)
