I think what you want is simply XPath here.

But with XSLT you could use,

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="//Setting[@Name = 'TheOneIWant']" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The xsl:value-of "instruction" evalueates its argument and converts the
result to a string (actually a "text node").

The contents of the "select" attribute is an XPath expression.
