The other posts about this have made the assumption that the "id" attribute
is an actual ID.  You don't need to assume that, and you don't need a dtd to
tell the processor.  You just need to treat it like any other attribute,
something like this:

<xsl:for-each select='*[@id="33"]'>
   <xsl:value-of select='.'/>
</xsl:for-each>
