I too am annoyed by the syntax. My pet peev is that
xsl:attribute has to be the first element. This is really
annoying if you want to optionally add an attribute.
xsl:attribute is not necessarily the first child element within
xsl:template or xsl:element, but does need to follow element insertion
directly.
VALID:
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:variable name="test" />
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:call-template name="copy-some-attributes"/>
<xsl:call-template name="doesnt-write-to-target-tree"/>
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:variable name="myrtf">
<xsl:call-template
name="calculate-tree-fragment-with-comments-elems-etc"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:variable name="mybool">
<xsl:if test="$x = 'y'">YES!</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$mybool = 'YES!'"> <!-- ignore the silly boolean
statements ;-) -->
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:element>
INVALID:
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:comment>Not allowed here!</xsl:comment>
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:processing-instruction name="test">Not allowed
here!</xsl:processing-instruction>
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="dummy">
<xsl:call-template
name="calculate-tree-fragment-with-comments-elems-etc"/>
<xsl:attribute name="id">bla</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
