Re: Looping through attributes..

I've spent a lot of time trying to avoid xsl:if and for-each by using
apply-templates for everything. Is there a way to "apply-templates" to the
attributes of an element? I'm thinking of something like this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="./@*">. If this can be done, I could get rid
if a lot of xsl:if statements that check for the presence of attributes.

Yes, you're right -- I replied without reading closely enough. Glad to see
someone else did the same thing! ;-)
And since that's the case, local-name() might be more appropriate than
name().
What's that about great minds thinking alike...
