Or, for something as simple as this, you could use an attribute value
template, which is shorter as well as getting rid of whitespace, but a
little less transparent (possibly? - I personally find it easier to read)
and won't work on early versions of MSXML:

<xsl:template match="cap">
  <div style="color:{@colour}">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </div>
</xsl:template>

I do like the <xsl:text/> trick :)
