> I need to add two values together, both are attributes.  I have seen
several

<xsl:variable name="a" select="number('2')"/>
<xsl:variable name="b" select="number('5')"/>
<xsl:variable name="sum" select="$a + $b"/>
sum is <xsl:value-of select="$sum"/>

To access an attribute:

<mytag myattrib="9"/>
<xsl:variable name="a" select="number(mytag/@myattrib)"/>

This is using the current XSLT spec. The Microsoft engine is a year out of
date.
