But it is correct, and it works just fine with XT (but doesn't work with
IE5b2, though is expected to with the final version of IE5).

Perhaps it isn't your XSL that's wrong; have you reviewed your XML
declaration of the attribute types?

I hope the illustration below helps.  I saw your claim and thought that
was, indeed, the way to approach your problem, so I tried it for myself and
your proposed use of the syntax works perfectly.
