Thanks, David.

Using this (suggested by Francis), I wondered if there is a
'case' or 'switch' type statement, rather than using a bunch
of 'if' conditions.  But I think I'm asking a bit much!

    <xsl:for-each select="@*">
      <xsl:text/> attribute name is : <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
    </xsl:for-each>

Cheers,
