The above line would be better written as:

            $sums/LEN[@id = generate-id(current())][1]/@sum"/>

So the processor knows it can stop searching on encountering the first
match, of which there can be only one. (As long as the number of <syl>
elements is small, it shouldn't matter too much.)

Even better would be a key on the variable, or a key that would yield
the positional index to use on the variable, but I don't know how this
would be possible.
