Can I rely on the rule for <xsl:attribute/>
being applied that says, when adding an attribute, any already
existing attribute of the same name is replaced?
Yes, the XSLT 1.0 specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#creating-attributes) is
precize about this:
"Adding an attribute to an element replaces any existing attribute of
that element with the same expanded-name"
That's precisely what I was loosely quoting. But that section's
heading says "Creating Attributes with xsl:attribute" and doesn't
specifically mention that the same behavior is expected for copying
attributes using xsl:copy-of (neither does the section about
copy-of[1]).
