Re: [xsl] Collecting attributes from the ancestor-or-self axis

In Adam's example, he was copying all the attributes from the
ancestors of the current node and the current node itself. He wanted
attributes nearer the current node to override the same-named
attributes from ancestors further away.

If you add two attributes with the same name to the same element, the
one that you add last is the one that gets included in the output. So
order *does* matter when you're copying attributes, if you're copying
several attributes of the same name.

Cheers,

Jeni
