The XT documentation says:

  Limitations

  The following XSL features are not yet implemented:

     xsl:id 

     xsl:attribute-set and xsl:use

     ., .., ancestor(pattern), ancestor-or-self(pattern), id(pattern) in
match           patterns (they are implemented in select patterns)

XT doesn't implement "." in match patterns it because it's useless and
confusing (it's an open issue whether it will be allowed in XSL in the
future).
