Why is it that a predicate is not allowed when I do something like

<xsl:variable name="foo" select=".[@id=1]"/>

I mean if the current node has an 'id' attribute numerically equal to the
number 1, then $foo will be the current node; otherwise it will be an
empty node-set, right? Both SAXON and XT gripe at me for having a
predicate after . at all.

Guessing: Maybe because an ID-type attribute cannot have a numeric value? (Completely unrelated to XPath and XSLT, of course -- an XML restriction.)
