> attribute and you can't say: <xsl:if test="@id = <xsl:value-of select="value" />">.

@id and value are both the same kind of Xpath expression, they each
select a node set from the source.

You didn't try to go

<xsl:if test="<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>= <xsl:value-of select="value" />">.

which would have been the consistent (but wrong) thing to try.

You just need

<xsl:if test="@id = value">

except, as explained last time this came up,"@id = value" would only
work if the same attribute had both an id attribute and a value child,
something like
<foo id="a">
 <value>data</value>
</foo>

the CDATA in the subject line  is a red herring, XSLT can not see the
CDATA section, 

 <value><![CDATA[test]]></value>

is the same as

 <value>test</value>
