You probably meant to say to test

  <xsl:if test="name">

as you example source has no attributes.

  <xsl:template match="form">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:for-each select="name | action | method">
       <xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
         <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       </xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
