What do the curly brackets and name="{name()}" mean?
That is an attribute value template. It allows you to evaluate an
XPath expression during the evaluation of an attribute value.
Not many instructions allow attribute value templates, but you are
allowed to use attribute value templates in literal result elements.
In an attribute where attribute value templates are allowed, you can
have any number of them, as in:
uri="http://{expr-1}/{expr-2}";
If you want a naked brace bracket in an attribute where attribute
value templates are allowed, you double it up (especially important
when, say, writing XSLT that writes Ant scripts):
<srcfiles dir="${{sitebasedir}}">
I hope this helps.
