Off the top of head, so test it out...

<xsl:template match="list">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="a | b | c | d | e | f">
  <xsl:element name="name()">
    <xsl:attribute  name="type">
      <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute  name="flag">
      <xsl:value-of select="@flag"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:if test="boolean(./*)">
      <group>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </group>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
