Not sure why the subject is "attribute list", but...

>    <CUSTOMER>
>       <CUSTOMER_ID>0000000026</CUSTOMER_ID>
>       <COMPANY>Aero Atlanta Fl</COMPANY>
>       <NAME>Aero Atlanta Flying Club</NAME>
>       <MAILBOX></MAILBOX>
>       <STREET>P.O. Box 819</STREET>
>       <POSTCODE>30144</POSTCODE>
>       <CITY>Kennesaw,</CITY>
>       <PHONE></PHONE>
>       <FAX></FAX>
>    </CUSTOMER>

If all CUSTOMERs have the same set of child element names, you can just look
at the first CUSTOMER and iterate through its child elements with something
like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <table>
    <!-- header row -->
    <tr>
      <xsl:for-each select="//CUSTOMER[1]/*">
        <td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="//CUSTOMER">
      <!-- customer data row -->
      <tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="*">
          <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
</xsl:template>
