But not the expression that I suggetsed to calculate that?
Also avoid using  disable-output-escaping (using it with ='no' is
harmless as it does nothing, but it might tempt you into using it with
='yes':-)

just apply templates to the relevant attributes and then have a template
that writes out the necessary stuff, something like this perhaps where I
just added the indented lines


<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:text>
&lt;rStart:&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:variable name="here" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to ../@col">
<xsl:variable name="cell" select="$here/cell[@col=current()]"/>
<xsl:text>
&lt;cStart:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="max(($cell/@rowspan,1))"/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="max(($cell/@colspan,1))"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates
     select="($cell|$here/preceding-sibling::row/cell[@col=current()])[last()]/
      (@* except (@rowspan,@colspan))"/>
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$cell/node()"/>
<xsl:text>&lt;cEnd:&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
&lt;rEnd:&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="cell/@*">
   <xsl:value-of separator="" select="';',name(),':',."/>
   </xsl:template>
