Storing a reference to a node

Hi

I am new to XSLT, and I was wondering whether it is possible to store a
reference to a paticular node. This can be useful if one would want to
postpone generating output for a particular node after nodes further down
the tree have been processed. 

I tried to achieve sth like this by using generate-id() to store the id for
a specific node in a xsl:variable, and then look up the node with id(), but
that does not seem to work:

<xsl:variable name="ID">
	<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="id($ID)"/>

Does anybody have suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
David
