Not to trod on any support engineer toes , but if you want the attribute value, here is a simple example. For the following XML:

[tt:3t04iip3]
PEARS ARE GOOD FOR YOU
SO ARE APPLES
[/tt:3t04iip3]
this XQuery:

[tt:3t04iip3]for $f in //fruits/fruit
where $f/@fruitId='apple'
return {data($f/@fruitId)}[/tt:3t04iip3]
will give the following:

[tt:3t04iip3]apple[/tt:3t04iip3]

I think the result needs to be valid XML rather than just a text value.
