You must follow this pattern, while creating elements and attributes:
Create element (a)
Create element a's attributes
Create any child elements
It is quite obvious, you cannot create child elements before creating
parent element's (here a) attributes.

Can't help you find what's wrong with your stylesheet without seeing
the
stylesheet, I'm afraid.
I do follow the pattern of creating parent node and attributes first and
creating child nodes next. Here is my xml and xslt files. My xml
transform will change names of boot_object, boot_object_header and
boot_object_body to names start with "advanced". (I also need to
transform name and values of children nodes of boot_object_header and
boot_object_body. That part I omit here to focus on the problem.) If I
define xml:space="preserve" in the template, the xslt processor will say
the attribute copy is wrong. The error message is like the following:
"Error at xsl:copy-of on line 13 of
file:///C:/trex-dev/Trunk/Projects/BFW/bde.bfw.core/resources/trans3.xsl
t:
XTDE0410: An attribute node (name) cannot be created after the
children of the containing element
** Transformation error"
If I remove xml:space="preserve", everything is fine. Can you tell me
what's wrong?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</advanced_boot_object_body>
</xsl:template>
