p:set-attributes

| 1.11 Set-attributes
| 
| The set-attributes step sets attribute values on the document element
| using the attribute values provided on the document element of the
| 'attribute' port's document. That is, it copies the attributes on the
| document element from the 'attributes' input port to the document
| element of the 'source' input port.
| 
| <p:declare-step type="p:set-attributes">
|      <p:input port="source"/>
|      <p:input port="attributes"/>
|      <p:output port="result"/>
| </p:declare-step>

Do we really need this?

If we do, should we make it p:copy-attributes and have it not delete the
originals (if you want to delete the originals, you can do it with a
preceding step).

And should we add a "target" option so that the attributes can be set
on any element not only the root element?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
