This won't work since the current node will always precede any @name attribute in document order. Try select="(.|@name)[last()]" (which adds the value of the @name attribute, if there is one, in preference to the value of the node) or the more explicit (but slightly different)

<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="not(normalize-space())">
  <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:if>

... which adds the value of a @name attribute if the current node has no value.

Cheers,
Wendell
