why not?

you can either process using different modes, or you
just select in with different patterns, as often as you like.

<xsl:for-each select="foo/@name">
do something with the names of all the foos with a name attribute
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="foo[@name]">
do something with the content of all the foos with a name attribute
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="foo[not(@name)]">
do something with the content of all the foos without a name attribute
</xsl:for-each>

Or maybe I didn't understand your problem?
