RE: mapping attributes.
I think I understand what you want, but the code you're showing
doesn't seem to match. What I think you want is to generate 
the cross-reference where the <RELATED> element occurs and have the
generated link contain the text of the title for the targeted 
SECTION (based on matching the value of the ID attributes). 

If that is what you want, something like this ought to work:

<xsl:template match="RELATED">
<xsl:variable name="target" select="@ID"/>
<A HREF="#{@ID}>
 <xsl:value-of select="//SECTION[@ID=$target]/TITLE"/>
</A>
</xsl:template>
