That works. I tried 
/article/answer[(_at_)ref=self::node()/@id]
and also
/article/answer[(_at_)ref=@id]

Both didn't work.

If the ref attribute is of declared in a DTD to be of type ID it's
simpler

select="id(@ref)

but I guess that isn't the case.
Yes, it isn't. But it would be possible to do.

which is equivalent to the first but may be faster (well that bit is
almost certainly faster but you pay the price of building the key table
in memory which takes time and space so it depends a lot on the size of
the document and how often you are doing the lookup)
I keep this in mind. Up to here there only a few data sets, so it would
not be very slow.

Thanks for the enlightment.
