You're nearly there! The test for equality needs to be inside the predicate.
<xsl:template match="message[@priority != 'debug']">
</...>
You should use that in both the header link section, and the content
section.
Are your generated IDs linking up? the generate-id() function produces a
different value each time it is called. The one in your header won't
match the one in the content section! I'd use the @name attribute of the
<target> tag as the name to reference.
