Re: [xsl] Looping through attributes..

["Joe Meree" <jmeree1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've spent a lot of time trying to avoid xsl:if and for-each by using 
apply-templates for everything.  Is there a way to "apply-templates" to the 
attributes of an element?  I'm thinking of something like this: 
<xsl:apply-templates select="./@*">.  If this can be done, I could get rid 
if a lot of xsl:if statements that check for the presence of attributes.
