xsl for each test
Hello Chris,

using disable-output-escaping is the completely wrong. Please look here for
more information: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N2215.html.

Why aren't you creating the table on element test?

And a second hint: why not using templates? In general I prefer templates
instead of for-each.

<xsl:template match="test">
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <td>att1</td>
                <td>att2</td>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
    <tr>
        <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="@att1"/>
            <xsl:if test="not(@att1)">default</xsl:if>
        </td>
        <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="@att2"/>
            <xsl:if test="not(@att2)">default</xsl:if>
        </td>
    </tr>
</xsl:template>

Joerg
