Names of XML elements and attributes may not have spaces.  The name of your
element is "article", NOT "article id".  That's why you get a message saying
it's illegal.

If you want to get the value of the "id" attribute, you would use

<xsl:value-of select='@id'/>

(of course, the context node would have to be the "article" for this to
work).
