I would like to create a template that matches attribute id in all elements

this is not working with MSXML... is it correct to use such syntax ?
Yes, it is correct.
The problem is probably that your attribute nodes are never getting
selected for processing; accordingly, the template is never matched and
never run.
In the template(s) for the element(s) that hold the attributes, try writing
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
and see whether that helps. This instruction tells the processor to pick up
the attributes on the element and find and process templates for them, too.
You might want to read up also on the built-in default templates in XSLT.
By default, they do not select attributes for processing, which is why
templates matching attributes don't seem to work.
If this isn't clear, please post again with (brief) examples of source
data, your stylesheet, and desired output; no doubt someone can identify
exactly the instruction you need very quickly.
Cheers,
Wendell
