If this is an one-shot task I'd investigate a stream editor first. For an XML solution, you can define a file with replacements:
<replacements> <replace from="cc_gen_desc" to="description"/> ... </replacements>
Use it as follows: <xsl:variable name="replacements" select="document('replacements.xml')/replacements"/> <xsl:template match="para/@meta"> <xsl:variable name="replacement" select="$replacements/replace[@from=current()]"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$replacement"> <xsl:attribute name="meta"> <xsl:value-of select="$replacement/@to"/> </xsl:attribute name="meta"> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>
Beware, untested.
