"If you do have problems, I would recommend leaving this transform
as-is, then running another transform over the result to convert the
attributes values to element names which handles any problem names."

I have found a snipped from a style sheet that I think will to do the transform 
Andrew has suggested above, but i'm not sure how to implement it - or if it is 
what you are suggesting.

The snippet:
 <xsl:template match="*" name="main">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="processing-instruction()|comment()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

Not sure how to add this into my Stylesheet, below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
	A CSV to XML transform
	Version 2
	Andrew Welch
	http://andrewjwelch.com
	
	Modify or supply the $pathToCSV parameter and run the transform
	using "main" as the initial template.

  </xsl:stylesheet>

I know it has to go inbetween the two templates, with another variable so I can 
call the transformed data into my second template.

Any direction would be great!

Thanks for all the pointers!
