Retraction: I've modified my parser to copy attributes.

I've been directed to the spec 7.5:
-----------------------------------
For example, the identity transformation can be written using xsl:copy
as follows:

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
------------------------------------

... which implies my construct is fine ( s/@/@*/ ) so apologies all.
I'd referred to only xsl:copy-of & xsl:attribute.

Isn't 'xsl:copy' a bit redundant?
