Here are the samples of XML, XSLT and resulting XML I got...

Subject:  is this valid <xsl:template match="@id"> ?

I would like to create a template that matches attribute id
in all elements

<xsl:template match="@id">

this is not working with MSXML... is it correct to use such syntax ?

The syntax is legal, and MSXML (at least v.4.0) should have no trouble with
it.  Your problem likely lies elsewhere (perhaps the select expression in
your apply-templates elements, or the XPath syntax in the template itself).
You should post some sample input/output and the relevant XSLT if you want
more specific help.

cheers,
b.
