which means in xpath 1 you can select
@*[count(.|../@xyz)=2] which is even nicer?
I went to the trouble of writing up the above in a post before leaving for an afternoon appointment, and then purposely trashed it before sending because I realized that you have to know @xyz exists ... if it doesn't exist, then none of the attributes get copied.
That left me with:
@*[not(../@xyz) or count(.|../@xyz)=2]
... which is probably how I'd want to go if the attribute was namespace qualified to avoid using name() and namespace-uri().
But not elegant (cough!) enough to actually *recommend* to someone.
