"//*...@anchor=./@target]" means: select all elements which have an "anchor" attribute equal to their "target" attribute. And of course, such elements do no exist. Use this "//*...@anchor=current()/@target]" and it will work. All this is standard XPath/XSLT, not XXE's proprietary extensions. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#misc-func
