You're right, it doesn't match. (I was trying to save the list of a larger
XML document, most being irrelevant)

A variant of this worked! Thanks to both who responded, I guess the trick was
in the variable. (I had thought variables needed to be evaluated in {}'s
which didn't seem work in Sablotron.)

Anyhow, the <xsl:variable name="target" select="@ID"/> was the "ah-hah!" in
this case. Thank you very much!
