The xsl:element XSLT element is used to create an element (what you're 
referring to as "open and close tags") in the result tree. The difference 
between using xsl:element and simply placing the literal tags in the 
template is that the former allows you to "compute" the element name, based 
on conditions in the source tree or elsewhere. For the latter, you have to 
have a fixed string value as the element name.

The original poster was trying to do something like this:
     < <elementname> >content</ <elementname> >
which would cause his stylesheet to be not well-formed.

Bob's/Wendell's solution doesn't "display only the Type attribute name"; it 
displays the Type attribute *value*.
