RE: [xsl] How might I reproduce a tag, but change one attribute?

  <xsl:template match="img">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="'bar'"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

This is a modified identity template.  The copy-of instruction selects all
attributes of the element and copies them and their values.  Just after it,
the attribute instruction names and values a new @src attribute which
overrides the value for @src just copied in the previous instruction.
apply-templates catches any child nodes of the img element, unnecessary if
you know img is always a leaf node.
