xsl:attribute is only for adding an attribute to an element in the result
tree. It must follow an instruction to put an element in the result tree.  
It is not for adding an attribute to an XSLT instruction, which is not in 
the result tree.

As for what you are trying to do, you cannot calculate the name of a
variable. The name has to be hard-coded. Sorry.
