I'm afraid I don't understand, then.

If the values of 'bar' etc. are known, then you can do

<xsl:template match="*[@att='bar']">...</xsl:template>

as I suggested in part of the message that you deleted.

If you meant to say that the values are *un*known, then it's a bit more 
complicated.  I suppose you should set up top-level parameters to the 
stylesheet called "barval", "bazval", "quuxval", etc., and then use a big 
choice:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@att=$barval">
      <xsl:call-template name="bar"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="@att=$bazval">
      <xsl:call-template name="baz"/>
    </xsl:when>
    ...
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

HTH,
