RE: Attempt to Select from the Top of Document No Work

Nothing wrong with the code that I can see. Perhaps it's something to do
with namespaces. Cut it down to a small example that shows the problem,
and then show us the full XML and XSL.

Incidentally, your code:

>     <xsl:for-each 
> select="//textStyle[@name=$styleName]/inlineAttr/@*">
> 	<xsl:attribute name="{local-name(.)}">
> 	<xsl:value-of select="."/>
> 	</xsl:attribute>
>     </xsl:for-each>

is equivalent to 

<xsl:copy-of select="//textStyle[@name=$styleName]/inlineAttr/@*"/>

unless you are doing something very odd with namespaces.
