[xsl] xsl-value-of does not process xsl values?

[Phillip Rhodes <rhodespc at telerama dot com>]

I have an xml document.  In this document, some of the element data is 
actually xsl.

Example:
<guide yearsOld="45">
<text>You are <xsl:value-of select="/guide/@yearsOld"/> years old.</text>
</guide>

I do a transformation of this xml document, and I obtain the element 
content of the above element via another "xsl:value-of"
Example: <xsl:value-of select="//text" />

My problem is that the xsl is not being processed, it is treated as a 
string.  It is displayed literally as "<xsl:value-of 
select="/guide/@yearsOld"/>"  in my final transformed document.

Can you tell me how I can fix this?

Thank you.
Phillip
