Q expansion:

I want to cross reference an item with corresponding state.  Each
value corresponds to a state within a character (so in the above
example a chicken has two legs, and a worm has none).

<taxa>
  <character-list>
    <character number="1">
  <state number="1">no legs</state>
  <state number="2">2 legs</state>
  <state number="3">4 legs</state>
    </character>
  </character-list>
  <item id="1">
<item-name>Chicken</item-name>
<attribute-list>
<attribute character="1"><value>2</value></attribute>
</attribute-list>
  </item>
  <item id="2">
<item-name>Worm</item-name>
<attribute-list>
<attribute 
	character="1"><value>1</value></attribute>
</attribute-list>
  </item>
</taxa>



<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Tranform"     
	version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:apply-templates select="//item"/>
</result>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
<expanded-item name="{item-name}">
<xsl:for-each select="attribute-list/attribute">
<xsl:for-each
select="//character[@number=current()/@character]
            /state[@number=current()/value]">
<property> 
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</property>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</expanded-item>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Try something like:

 <xsl:value-of select="sum(/elements/element/@value)"/>
