    The following works in Saxon 8.0. I assumed it was bad news to
    specify an attribute twice, but I suppose the last attribute
    node copied wins.

    <xsl:template match="control">
      <xsl:variable name="definition"
                    select="ancestor::bench/fixture/control-point[
                                          @name = current()/@name]"/>
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="$definition/@*"/>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>
