[xsl] Removing an XML Attribute

["McDonald, Shaun" <Shaun.McDonald@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I came up with something that appears to work, only I'm not sure if
there is a caveat to doing it this way.

Since I'm transforming almost 100 files, I want to make sure nothing
bites me in the rear.

Using XSLT 2.0, Saxon 8.8

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="not(@change)">
       <xsl:copy-of select="@* "/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise/>
   </xsl:choose>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I'm still spot-checking the files, but so far it seems to have removed
the @change attribute only, which is my desired output.

Thanks!
