Hello Alain,

> give a legacy application (non-XML/XHTML aware)

If your application isn't aware of XML, why don't you feed it with just
the XML fragment as is? Its already text, so the application won't do
anything and hand it back to your weblication. I don't see the benefit of
your transformation.

When I run your stylesheet, output is the same as input. Could you supply
some desired output?

>   <div>Any XML/XHTML <span style="color:black">elements with attributes

> </fragment>

The Output (done with XSLTPROC):
  <div>Any XML/XHTML <span style="color:black">elements with attributes
        also</span> or empty tags <br/> and  empty tags with attributes
<hr style="color:white"/></div>

What function?

BTW: element() won't work for me, I had to take "node()" instead.
