Yes, you can apply templates to attributes in precisely the way you
surmise (though the "./" at the start of the path is unnecessary).
Note that you should have templates that match the attributes:

<xsl:template match="@*">
  ...
</xsl:template>

unless you just want their values printed out.

Cheers,
