Thanks for the replies, I get it now. I was exploring this option:
<xsl:attribute name="xsl:use-attribute-sets">
<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0">
<xsl:text>alt-</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>table-row-background</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
..but quickly realize that the attribute-sets are (in simple terms)
resolved on load of the stylesheet, rather, applied to the stylesheet
so the above is out of context again. I think I have that correct.
Ken, the attribute sets for me are still valid, and the alternate row
style is a no biggy, I can deal with that. I was previously calling
templates which i prefaced them as "typical" for example
"typical.background-grey", so familiar with this approach.
Thanks,
Karl..

Am I doing something wrong because this is not working:

</xsl:if>
Is that the correct way to call an attribute set conditionally?
No. Guessing at syntax isn't a good way of finding out what the spec allows
- and this particular guess is miles off.
Attribute sets are only useful if you know statically which attributes you
want to add. Usually you're likely to know statically what the attribute
values will be as well - though the value can in fact depend on the context
node or on global variables.
