Yes

Yes, by means of an 'attribute value template', i.e. putting curly
brackets in it.

This will never work either ;-))
Did you try what I posted yesterday?  The above will try to create an
element with name @name (literally) which is of course illegal.  You
want the value of @name, i.e. as I said before
    <xsl:element name="{@name}"/>
with the curly brackets.
