What do you mean? What's the problem with

<xsl:template match="alt">
    <i><xsl:value-of select="@*[name()=$output]"/></i>
</xsl:template> ??

On the other hand you can apply templates like elements:

<xsl:template match="alt">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*[name()=$output]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*">
    <i><xsl:value-of select="."/></i>
</xsl:template>

Or did I understand something completely wrong?
