It assumes, of course, that you somewhere do apply-templates to the attribute node. > I've read with bewilderment the > threads about the xslt spec and that attributes are children > of elements but elements are not parents of children... No you've got that the wrong way around. The relationship between elements and subelements is called "child" in one direction and "parent" in the other. The relationship between elements and attributes is called "attribute" in one direction and "parent" in the other. You can always go up from an attribute using the parent or ancestor axes.
