That I would say that xsl:element and xsl:attribute only be used (or
shown to) advanced users who are needing to generate the
element/attribute names based on the run time behaviour of the
stylesheet rather than the far more usual case of generating fixed

names

from the stylesheet or source.

I think it's functional/procedural programming clash again. First approach is "just say what you want to be in the result" and second one is "lets build result by these functions". Obviously all Java/C++/VB people like the second approach and eaily abuse of it a lot.
