RE: is there a generic way to iterate through all attr

You can use @* or attribute::*

ex. <xsl:for-each select="@*">
will loop through all the attributes of the current node.

for what you sound like you are doing, it may be better to call a template
to process attributes -

  <xsl:template match="*">
    tag: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
    value: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    attribute: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
  </xsl:template>
