Not that I can see ... though the "./" is redundant.

What led you to believe this was verboten?

All you are doing is pushing an attribute node at your stylesheet for 
matching.  Note that the built-in template rule for matching an 
attribute simply adds the content of the attribute to the result 
tree, so if you don't catch the node with a template match, you may 
get text in your output you don't want.

I hope this helps.
