RE: [xsl] multi-document question

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

The default template rule for attributes copies the string value of the
attribute as text. Either copy the attributes explicitly using
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>, or write a template rule that copies them,

<xsl:template match="@*"><xsl:copy/></xsl:template>
