RE: [xsl] add an attribute to an element, then use it in another template

[Pablo Sebastián Rodriguez <psrodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

wow ! really nice trick ... not quite what i was looking for, but it'll
get the job done, thanks.
i think i wasn't clear enough

with

<music>

    <project name="W.A.S.T.E.">
        <release name="We all seek total entropy" year="2003"/>
        <release name="Violent delights" year="2006"/>
    </project>

</music>

i get

attrName: name
attrValue: W.A.S.T.E.


if i had

<music>

    <project name="W.A.S.T.E." newThing="qwertyu">
        <release name="We all seek total entropy" year="2003"/>
        <release name="Violent delights" year="2006"/>
    </project>

</music>

the result would be

attrName: name
attrValue: W.A.S.T.E

attrName: newThing
attrValue: qwertyu


thanks again
