Come on, stop and think. Since when did xsl:attribute ever write
anything *to the stylesheet*?

You haven't told us anything about your problem, only your highly
imaginative attempt to solve it.

xsl:import is a compile-time facility. It takes effect long before the
stylesheet is evaluated, which is when parameters are examined and
instructions like xsl:attribute are executed. You can't modify your
source code while the program is running.

You could write a stylesheet that generates a new stylesheet, but I
suspect you don't need to. Usually when people ask for dynamic
xsl:import it's because they are doing import the wrong way around. You
should import the general-purpose stylesheet modules into the
special-purpose modules, not the other way around.
