Hi, Jany...
   While the solutions given by Dan and Toby should do the trick, I
think a slicker approach would be to use the copy-attributes function
from James' page on the SGML Transformation backend, and modify it
just a bit to, instead of just copying the name, pass it into a
function which will map to the new name.  Thus, you could (define) a
list of lists, each of which has two elements: the old name and the
new name.  Your modified copy-attributes function would take a list
like this as an additional argument, and probably pass it on to
another function (along with the name to be mapped) for mapping.
   Let me know if you need some help putting this together.
