msxml is right you can't use variables in match patterns (a half
hearted attempt to avoid circularity in variable definitions)
so don't do this
do this
<xsl:template match="fred">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@id = $foo">
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="baz/name" />
</b>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
something else
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
note you _never_ want to begin a match pattern with // in any case.
