You can't add attributes to an element after adding a text node. This is so that XSLT processors are able to operate serially. What you are trying to do is effectively: <xsl:element name="e"> text <xsl:attribute name="a">5</xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> A processor trying to output <e a="5">text</e> would have to delay outputting the "text" until it was sure there were no attributes to be added.
