and  it is extensible to  attributes at the cost of 1 very similar
template rule.

<xsl:variable name="renames">
   <ren:element from="person" to="individual"/>
   <ren:attribute from="firstname" to="christianname"/>
   <ren:attribute from="lastname" to="surname"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="*[key('mapNames',name(),$renames)]">
    <xsl:element name="{key('mapNames',name(),$renames)[1]}">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*[key('mapNames',name(),$renames)]">
    <xsl:attribute name="{key('mapNames',name(),$renames)[1]}">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
