function of elements
Hi all,

Is it possible to get the name of an attribute in the same way, as
with the name() function for elements?

Problem:

When merging to files - in my case RelaxNG with some proprietary
extensions residing in a seperate file - I use a key function to
retrieve the content of an element node of the extension file:

<xsl:key name="insert.template.elem" match="*" use="name()"/>

and applying it this way:

<xsl:template match="@* |node()" mode="copy.rng" >
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name()='element' ">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:variable name="elem.name" select="@name"/>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="$elem.name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<sm:map>
<sm:item table="kennungen">
<xsl:attribute name="field">
<xsl:for-each select="$insertTemplate"><xsl:value-of select="key('insert.template.elem',$elem.name)"/></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:attribute>
</sm:item>
</sm:map>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy.rng"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
...


But there is also information stored in attributes I need to retrieve
in a similar way. How can this be accomplished? I'm imagining
something like the following:

<xsl:key name="insert.template.attr" match="@*" use="attr-name()"/>
                                           ^^^^      ^^^^
                                       something like this!
and then applying it again this way:

...
<xsl:when test="name()='attribute' ">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:variable name="attr.name" select="@name"/>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="$attr.name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<sm:map>
<sm:item table="kennungen">
<xsl:attribute name="field">
<xsl:for-each select="$insertTemplate"><xsl:value-of select="key('insert.template.attr',$attr.name)"/></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:attribute>
</sm:item>
</sm:map>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy.rng"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
...



Thanks in advance, Georges
