Not sure what you are trying here. MK already pointed out that you may 
not understand the processing model. You recursively call a template to 
create an attribute, which is fine, but unlikely to create what you want 
(an attribute can't contain an element, which is what your code seems to 
imply...), since your snippet is not well-formed XML, or even XSLT, so I 
can't tell for sure without seeing more.

Error 500 means: internal error. If you use Cocoon, you should be able 
to find the XSLT error in the logs. My guess is, since you are 
recursively calling a template inside xsl:attribute, that the error is 
something like "can't create element inside an attribute" or similar. Or 
is just says "syntax error"... Or... since this recursive loop won't 
end, it just runs out of stack space.
