I take it you're saying that your source document has an attribute like this:
<node something="value for your new attribute">? If so, it sounds like this one
is pretty easy, even with XSLT/XPath 1.0:
<disney>
<xsl:attribute name="mickey">
<xsl:value-of select="@*[name() = $foo]" />
</xsl:attribute>
</disney>
or for super-short:
<disney mickey="{@*[name() = $foo]}" />
You could also use [local-name() = $foo] if you're worried about potential
namespacing issues.

Subject: [xsl] A Problem with Variables and Xpath
Hi All!
It is possible to gather the value of an attribute using variable in
Xpath? How?
I have a variable like this:
<xsl:variable name="foo">something</xsl:variable>
and I am trying to set an attribute in this way:
<disney>
<xsl:attribute name="mickey">
<xsl:value-of select="./$foo"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</disney>
where $foo is the name of an attribute of the source document.
The (wrong) output is:
<disney mickey="something">
</disney>
while the desired one is:
<disney mickey="valueof(something)">
</disney>
Thanks for help!
Christian
P.S.
I am using XSLT and Xpath 2.0
