A good way to do this is to write another stylesheet module that imports
your existing module. In the new module do

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="@attribute">
    <tag><xsl:apply-imports/></tag>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
