The last time I check XML 1.0 spec, an element had to have a name and
LESS-THAN SIGN was not allowed in attribute value.

<xsl:for-each select="itable[@id =
i/paramter/nameofyourunnamedelement/@value]/@s">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

It always helps if your example XML is well-formed, that way people don't have
to quess or attempt error recovery.
