RE: sort problem

          <xsl:apply-templates select="@*">
            <xsl:sort select="name()" data-type="text"/> 
          </xsl:apply-templates>

If you want to be pedantic, the <xsl:sort> here doesn't 
matter, so you can 
save a few CPU cycles by just doing:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>


If the template rule is

<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

then the sort does make a difference: it guarantees that the output
elements will be in alphabetical order by name.
