Re: Reading Attributes in XSL

Note that attribute order is stable but implementation defined.
What do you mean by "first attribute" ? You can use @*[1] to select the
first attribute in document order, but that need not be (and often is
not) the first attribute to appear on the element. (XML parsers are not
required to report the order in which attributes appear).

On the face of it you seem to want

<xsl:for-each select="@*[1]|*/@*">
 something for first attribute and attributes on children
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="@*[position()&gt;1]">
 something for later attributes
</xsl:for-each>
