No problems, but you can apply templates in 'escape-CSV' mode to any
kind of node, attributes included, so with the template I provided,
you could do:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="@Description" mode="escape-CSV" />

with exactly the same effect.

My comment about calling templates instead was if you need to
substitute strings in, say, the first 20 characters of a string, or
the normalised version of it or something, e.g.:

<xsl:call-template name="escape-CSV">
   <xsl:with-param name="string"
                   select="substring(@Description, 1, 20)" />
</xsl:call-template>

I hope that helps,

Jeni
