because the default select attribute on apply-templates doesn't select
attributes.

If you llways did xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*" then that default
rule for attributes would fire and copy the attribute text. Thus the
default rule for attributes is (sometimes) useful, even thoigh, by
default, it doesn't ever fire)
