I just noticed a cut & paste error in my code. I had:

<xsl:if test="not(@id=preceding-sibling::field[1]/@id)">

I was going to use a variable to save line space, but then switched back 
but did not get the '$.' It is probably obvious but it should be:

<xsl:if test="not(@id=preceding-sibling::field[1]/@id)">

        <xsl:value-of
         select="/document/configure/server/resultfield[@id=$id]"/>
