Thanks, but for this project I'm confined to 1.0.

I'm not sure whether that applies to my case, here's the XSLT:

  <xsl:transform version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="para[@foo]">
      <para>
        <xsl:apply-templates
        select="@*[not(local-name()='foo')]"/>
        <bar>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@foo"/>
        </bar>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
      </para>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="para/@foo">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
  </xsl:transform>
