Thanks everybody, The reason I have added xsl:element is that I generate the xsl file automatically according to a look-up table which translate the element names in other names, which of course was not visible from my simple xml file. But, I learnt a lot following the discussion.

Oopsie. I got used to reading www.topxml.com (<http://www.topxml.com/xsl/elmxsl_attribute.asp>) for a "Cliff's Notes" approach to XSL coding. Back when I needed an attribute for an element, I remember only reading the "Can be Contained by" section (thereby missing the entire paragraph at the top). I guess the incorrect assumption stuck in my head. I didn't think that Jeni would neglect to state something relevant... Greg Faron Integre Technical Publishing Co.
