Well from your description it looks like

<xsl:template match="xi:include">
  <xi:include>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '.')"/>
      <xsl:text>_online.xml</xsl:text>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xi:include>
</xsl:template>

But perhaps I've completely misunderstood the requirement (or the nature of
your difficulty).
