Because the name attribute of <xsl:call-template> is not one of the (few)
places where XSLT allows attribute value templates to appear.

Workarounds:
- <xsl:choose> and enumerate the possibilities
- modify the stylesheet before use
- Saxon has an extension attribute saxon:allow-avt="yes" on
<xsl:call-template>
