I don't know what you are missing, but this works fine for me:

<!doctype style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style
Sheet//EN">
<style-specification ID="FOO">
(declare-flow-object-class formatting-instruction
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object
Class::formatting-instruction")

(element style-specification
    (make formatting-instruction
         data: (attribute-string "ID")))


jade -t sgml test.dsl

(note that the stylesheet is both the input document and the stylesheet)

I suspect you are having a problem with (attribute-string "bar"). Try
using (debug) to look at it.
