Using the current XSL Draft as well as James Clark XT, I'm trying to 
preserve the attributes and node names of the input XML file nodes while 
modifying order or adding new attributes.

In other words, how can one write an XSL stylesheet that outputs the 
exact same XML as the input file? Part of the problem is getting the node 
name (xsl:nodeName is not within the current draft) and iterate through 
it's attributes list.

I've seen "MS-XSL extensions" in IE5 to do that but I'd like to stick to 
w3c current draft standard and more important (since I think MS is mostly 
using the current state of the draft), I need parsing to happen 
server-side on UNIX with XT.
