Bryan,
I want to select the "value" element in the messages.xml file and it appears that we're selecting the id value in the original document. BTW, I'm using java and xalan/xerces to parse this and apparently the xpath you gave me is returning a BOOLEAN and it's expecting a NODELIST.
org.apache.xpath.XPathException: Can not convert #BOOLEAN to a NodeList!

<xsl:template match="message">

<xsl:for-each select="document('messages.xml')/messages/message/@id=$id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
could also apply-templates against the messages document
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('messages.xml')/messages" mode="doc"/>
