This is correct XSL-T, but the result might not be what you expect:

input:
<row>
  <key id="foo">foo1</key>
  <key id="bar">bar1</key>
  <key id="foo">foo2</key>
  <key id="bar">bar2</key>
</row>

<xsl:variable name="var">foo</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="row/key[id=$var]"/>

will result in:

"foo1 foo2"

with out quotes, or even "foo1foo2", but I'd expect the first one.
But it works.
