There are (at least) two ways to do this. First, you can save the
attribute value to a variable:
<xsl:variable name="colname" select="@name"/>
<xsl:variable name="fkey"
select="following-sibling::foreign-key[child::reference/@local=$colname]"/>
Alternatively, you could use XSLT's "current" function, which always
returns the node being processed by the current template:
<xsl:variable name="fkey"
select="following-sibling::foreign-key[child::reference/@local=current()/@name]"/>

I am trying to get a copy-of an element by the value of one of it's

current attribute:
following-sibling::foreign-key[child::reference/@local="the_value_of_the_current_attribute"]
Here's an example of the xml I am trying to process.
<table>
<column name="parent_id" />
<foreign-key>
<reference local="parent_id" />
</foreign-key>
</table>
I want to use the @name of the column in the xpath expression.
