Attributes of type ID must not start with a number.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#id
For the id() function to work, any attribute of type ID must declared as
such in a DTD. See note under
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Embedding-Stylesheets
e.g., in an internal subset:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Order SYSTEM "order.dtd" [
<!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet id ID #IMPLIED>
]>

Subject: [xsl] Selecting and "id"
Can someone please tell me why I cannot get the following to work. I am
trying to select the id number for specific element.
<!-- XML -->
<AAA>
<BBB id = "11" >B1 </BBB>
<BBB id = "22" >B2 </BBB>
<BBB id = "33" >B3 </BBB>
</AAA>
<!-- XSL -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version =
"1.0" >
<xsl:template match = "/" >
<xsl:value-of select = "id('33')" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get an error that reads:
"This name may not begin with the '3' character:"
I want to talk to/read all elements that have an id of 33. In this case, of
course there is only one.
