RE:  selecting attribute name
My first recommendation is to go back and redesign the XML. Using
structured attribute names with an internal syntax is a really bad way
to represent information.

If you can't do that, or if you need to do a transformation to convert
this XML to something more reasonable, then you can write

select="@*[startswith(name(), 'orgid']"
