[xsl] AW: Fetching the value of a dynamically assigned attribute

You can use the current() function to get the XSLT context node from within an 
XPath:
<xsl:value-of 
select="$documentAppConfig/configuration/myNode/@*[local-name()=current()/text()]"
 />

Betreff: [xsl] Fetching the value of a dynamically assigned attribute

While mocking up some examples related to a previous question, I have an
example where I add a namespace to my stylesheet and add some data to it:

  <myns:data>
    <foo>
      <bar>one</bar>
      <bar>two</bar>
      <bar>three</bar>
    </foo>
  </myns:data>

I also load another XML doc I am using data from:

  <xsl:variable name="documentAppConfig"
select="document('some_binary.exe.config')" />

While looping over the elements from the data I added to my stylesheet, I am
trying to select the value of an attribute where the attribute name is 
dynamically
specified:

    <xsl:for-each select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/myns:data/foo/bar">

        <!-- this works: -->
        <xsl:value-of select="concat('some-text', text())" />

        <!-- this does not work: -->
        <xsl:value-of 
select="$documentAppConfig/configuration/myNode/@*[local-
name()=text()]" />

        <!-- this works: -->
        <xsl:variable name="text" select="text()" />
        <xsl:value-of 
select="$documentAppConfig/configuration/myNode/@*[local-
name()=$text]" />

    </xsl:for-each>

That result is not surprising, but what is the syntactically correct way of
accomplishing this, or is the intermediate assignment the only way?

Thanks,
