Re: using xsl-attributes for apply-template select

select="/docstructure/define[@id='{@defined}']"/>

This tests the id attribute against the string '{@defined}'

but you want to test against the defined attribute of the current node
which is
select="/docstructure/define[@id=current()/@defined]"/>

You _never_ use { } in an xpath expression.
