Re: Transform some attributes into HTML span elements

I think, I would have done this as following:

<xsl:template match="InspectionReportInput">
  <span id="firstName"><xsl:value-of select="@firstName"
/></span>&#160;<span id="lastName"><xsl:value-of select="@lastName"
/><xs:text>,&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@city" />
</xsl:template>

and have invoked this template as following:

<xsl:apply-template select="InspectionReportInput" />
