RE: [xsl] Automatically copying an element's attributes and their values

[Mary McRae <marymcrae@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Ken (and David). Yes, the curly braces are
missing in the FAQ. Unfortunately with either
method, the attributes still aren't coming
through. My thinking is that because the element
being matched <para> in the source instance
doesn't appear in the output template; instead it
is replaced with <ns0:para> ... Or other ideas?
