xsl:element usage

Let's say I have a template that matches multiple nodes.  Upon a match I'd like
to create an element using that node and then add attributes.  My question is
how to you specify the name of the element using a select ?  Could someone
provide some usage examples of xsl:example ?

<xsl:template match="foo | bar | foobar">
  <xsl:element name=      something along the lines of select=".">
     <!-- Add attributes -->
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
