I hope that isn't the example as xsl:attribute doesn't have a border
attribute.

Assuming the example is
<xsl:attribute name="border">2</xsl:attribute>
then yes it's the same as using a literal result element attribute
in this case.

i writes 'em the way i sees 'em -- kay, p. 167.  although, yes, i
should have spotted the error right away.    but your response
still clarifies the situation, thanks.

This is a known erratum.  See 
http://www.wrox.com/dynamic/books/errata.aspx?isbn=1861005067, where
it says for p. 167:

  The second line in the first block of example code on this page is incorrect.
  It should read:
     <xsl:attribute name="border">2</xsl:attribute>
