According to the XSLT Spec [7.1.3] you should be able to use an AVT.
The processor might have a bug, or perhaps (more likely) $id resolves
to something that doesn't follow the rules for legal names. Raman,
what will $id actually be?

Thank you all very much for trying to resolve my quandry.
Here are some more details...answering Wendell's q.
Short: id is parameter passed in a call-template.
id will be set to string literals as shown below.
this is what I wish to generate
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fmcpfixxml fixversion="4.2">
<ft T35="D"/>
<ft T11="6462"/>
<ft T1="75265"/>
<!-- lot more tuples like the above -->
</fmcpfixxml>
I am currently generating them as
<xsl:element name="ft">
<xsl:attribute name="T35">
<xsl:value-of select="$msgtype"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="ft">
<xsl:attribute name="T11">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(@id,'X')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
This ugly and code bloat. I would like to have
generated this as follows
<xsl:call-template name="taggen" >
<xsl:with-param name="id" select='T35' />
<xsl:with-param name="value" select='D' />
</xsl:call-template>
with a corresponding template defined as follows:
<xsl:template name="taggen">
<xsl:param name="id" />
<xsl:param name="value" />
<xsl:element name="ft">
<xsl:attribute name="{$id}"><xsl:value-of select="$value"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Ultimately I would generate the call-template segment
using a loop and key mechanism.
The attribute name I really want is 35 and NOT T35.
When I attempted that I got a lot
of errors and I simply stuck a T in front which I will
strip in a downstream process.
as a beginner all this hacking is being tolerated.
I hope I have provided the background.
Thanks
Raman
