That I would say that xsl:element and xsl:attribute only be used (or
shown to) advanced users who are needing to generate the
element/attribute names based on the run time behaviour of the
stylesheet rather than the far more usual case of generating fixed names
from the stylesheet or source.


Funny you should mention... We at Mulberry just revised our introductory XSLT course, yet again, and decided that in a 2-day course there was no time for xsl:element, xsl:attribute, etc. We decided that they were very useful advanced features, but way behind, for example, Named Templates as something that a beginner needs to know.
