I should add that my workround is to add a priority atribute to the
intruding template, thus:

---
  <!-- and generate "attribute" elements with the rest... -->
  <xsl:template match="itemStatus/*" priority="0">
    <attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of
select="text()"/></attribute>
  </xsl:template>
---

which makes both MSXML3 and Saxon behave as if it was Saxon with a
default priority.

My (inexpert) reading of http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict (section
5.5.2) is that it *should* have a default priority of -0.5, which makes
me think that the problem may be with MSXML3 in this case.
