AFAIK, xsl:attribute is not a self-closing element, so if you really want to
create an empty href attribute, at least there should be
<xsl:attribute name="href"></xsl:attribute>

Although, I'm not sure whether this will work... (haven't needed or tested
anything like it)

If you just want to omit the href attribute from being output, you have two
options:

For both: remove the 'empty' xsl:attribute element you specified above. It
serves no purpose.

1. replace <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" /> by
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*[not(name()='href')]" />

2. keep the current form of the apply-templates instruction, and define a
null template matching @href, like <xsl:template match="@href" />


Hope this helps!
