Considering attributes are unordered in XML this could be risky.  Most
XML parsers I believe will return them in document order but not
necessarily all.  A better way might be to take the name of the
attribute and match on that.

Also, do you really mean children or descendants?  If just children
you can get away with a for-each loop, otherwise you'll either need
some sort of grouping approach or recursive templates.
