A coworker, using Microsoft's parser
simply uses:
<xsl:element name="MSHelp:Keyword">
<xsl:attribute name="index">K</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="term">Foobar</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
That looks a complicated rather than simple, you could just go
<MSHelp:Keyword index="K" term="Foobar"/>
assuming MSHelp prefix is declared in your stylesheet.
However for me (Linux and libxslt via xsltproc) there is only
<Keyword>
it comes out unprefixed?
The only reason I could see for your code not producing the attributes
if you have set xml:space somewhere so that you are generating a (white)
text node child of the mshelp:Keyword element. You can not add attribute
nodes once you have added a child.
