Hi Kamal,

I guess that's what the specification implies by:

The following are all errors:
* Adding an attribute to an element after children have been added to 
it; implementations may either signal the error or ignore the attribute.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#creating-attributes

Although I might misunderstand.
