actually you do: text() (although that will also give you lots of white
space coming from element indentation) so you'll probably want to use
normalize-space() afterwards. (You might want to restrict to text()[1]
and just get the first text node, although later ones while be white
space anyway.

  My  failed xpath expression so far looks like this;
  exsl:node-set($ul)/ul[@id='menu']/li[//li/@id=$id]/text()

looks OK to me, unless this is a namespace proble,.
If teh default namespace at the point you make your variable is xhtml
rather than no-namespace you will need an xpath of


 exsl:node-set($ul)/h:ul[@id='menu']/h:li[//h:li/@id=$id]/text()
