<xsl:template match="insert-snippet">
 <xsl:value-of select="//snippet[name=current()/@name]"/>
</xsl:template>

though it would be faster to use 

<xsl:template match="insert-snippet">
 <xsl:value-of select="id(@name)/@name"/>
</xsl:template>

if <snippet>'s `name' is declared as of type ID in a DTD.

an
<xsl:template match="snippet"/>

will be needed if you run from the top with an apply-templates
