equal signs in XML attribute values

This may have a really obvious answer, but I am trying to put the
following into an XSL stylesheet in IE5b2:

	
		<xsl:apply-templates select="bar">
			<xsl:template match="@foo=3" />
		</xsl:apply-templates>

IE5b2 graciously spits back the following message:

	Expected token 'eof' found '='. @foo-->=<--3

This message from my tests seems to clearly be referring to the equals
sign. I have tryed escaping the 
equals sign in numerous ways, but to no avail. I have tried double
quotes and apostrophes for various scope
levels of the syntax. Nothing seems to get around the fact that the XML
compiler does not like an equals sign within the body of the value of an
attribute. 

Is there some way to get this to pass to XSL that I am missing, or is
this an incompatibility between XML and XSL patterns?

cheers,

erik
