suggestion for xslt: xsl:attribute and xsl:element values

Hi!

I have a small suggestion for XSLT, which I'd like to see in a new release.
After repeatedly writing stuff like:

<a><xsl:attribute name="href">
 <xsl:value-of select="some/thing"/>
</xsl:attribute>
Some text
</a>

I begin to miss the very convenient select="" attribute found on many other 
elements, like xsl:param, xsl:variable, and so on. I think this would make a 
very convenient addition to XSLT, enhancing readability as well as reducing 
typing. Moreover, it looks more consistent to me having (optional) select="" 
on every element which uses some kind of input.
