Dear editors,

I find it (very slightly) frustrating that the xsl:attribute element does
not have a select attribute.

For example, I must type:

         <xsl:for-each select="$atts/*">
            <xsl:attribute name="name()">
               <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </xsl:attribute>
         </xsl:for-each>

If $x = <att1>1</att1><att2>2</att2><att3>boo</att3>
Then we get: <... att1="1" att2="2" att3="boo" ...>
(This is a bit more dynamic then using xsl:attribute-set)

In an ideal world I could type:

         <xsl:for-each select="$atts/*">
            <xsl:attribute name="name()" select="." />
         </xsl:for-each>

The same applies to xsl:element...
