id() pattern

I can get the following pattern to match fine.

id('test')


However, if I then try to do either of the following I get nothing. Am I
doing something incorrect?

<xsl:attribute name="path"><xsl:value-of select="id('test')/xx"/></
xsl:attribute>

<xsl:attribute name="path"><xsl:value-of select="id('test')/xx/@yyy"/></
xsl:attribute>


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
