Select all the elements that are children of the relevant <data>
element and then filter them to select only those whose name is the
same as that given by the $name parameter:

  <xsl:value-of select="ROOT/msg/data[@id = $pid]
                                  /*[name() = $name]" />

You might have to be careful about namespaces if you're using them...

Cheers,

Jeni
