Since step 2 turns this into the expand-structure-as-I-copy-it
scenario, you have to go back and re-do step 1 with xsl:copy, then
jump in with xsl:attribute at the appropriate places to add in the
extra attributes. I believe that the FAQ has some examples of
copying everything while adding extra stuff. Attributes are subject
to rules about when they can be added: after (so to speak) namespace
nodes but before text, comments, PIs, and child elements.
