xsl + xsl -> xsl

Hello,

I would like to transform XSL using XSL.  The idea here is to have 
device independent XSL that represents general layout and then apply a 
device specific XSL and take the result and apply it to XML.  My problem 
at this point is I can't seem to modify an attribute tag.  Here's an 
example:

<table-cell>
<xsl:attribute name="n-columns-spanned"><xsl:value-of 
select="//YAXIS/@MAXDESCCOUNT"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="n-rows-spanned"><xsl:value-of 
select="//XAXIS/@ROWCOUNT"/></xsl:attribute>
</table-cell>

should turn into plain old

<TD>
<xsl:attribute name="COLSPAN">
<xsl:value-of select="//YAXIS/@MAXDESCCOUNT"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ROWSPAN"><xsl:value-of 
select="//XAXIS/@ROWCOUNT"/></xsl:attribute>
</TD>

However I can't seem to insert an xsl:attribute tag without it being 
interpreted as my wanting to add an attribute.  

My motivation for doing the transformation in this order is that the XML 
involved is much larger than the XSLs.

I'm using IE5's MSXML parser.

Thanks,
Alan.
