Is there a way I can get the #selector style syntax to work on XML

I don't think so. From the CSS specs [1]:
Note. In XML 1.0 [XML10], the information about which attribute
contains an element's IDs is contained in a DTD. When parsing XML,
UAs do not always read the DTD, and thus may not know what the ID of
an element is. If a style sheet designer knows or suspects that this
will be the case, he should use normal attribute selectors instead:
[name=p371] instead of #p371. However, the cascading order of normal
attribute selectors is different from ID selectors. It may be
necessary to add an "!important" priority to the declarations:
[name=p371] {color: red ! important}. Of course, elements in XML 1.0
documents without a DTD do not have IDs at all.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that even if you supplied a DTD
reference in your XML document, most browsers wouldn't find it. Perhaps
if your DTD was internal...? Sorry. :-(
