Michael,
"ancestor()" uses an ancient syntax long forgotten in the Annals of XSLT.
Try the axis specifier "ancestor::", as in:
<xsl:template match="inside[ancestor::*/@myprop='123']">
...
</xsl:template>
And update your reference materials!
Cheers,
Wendell

If I have something like this:
<outside myprop='123'>
<mid>
<inside>456</inside>
</mid>
</outside>
How would I write my match for my <xsl:template> for the <inside> node so
that that template would only match if outside's myprop was equal to '123'
(and another template might match only '234' for example. I want there to
be any number of nested levels between the <outside> and <inside> tags. I
tried using ancestor() but I must have messed something up because it said
ancestor didn't exist.
