Can someone please tell me why I cannot get the following to work. I am trying to select the id number for specific element.



<AAA>
    <BBB id = "11" >B1 </BBB>
    <BBB id = "22" >B2 </BBB>
    <BBB id = "33" >B3 </BBB>
</AAA>



<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version = "1.0" >


         <xsl:template match = "/" >
              <xsl:value-of select = "id('33')" />
         </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>

I get an error that reads:

"This name may not begin with the '3' character:"

I want to talk to/read all elements that have an id of 33. In this case, of course there is only one.
