Bob duCharme's solution:
     <xsl:element name="{@Type}">myvalue</xsl:element>
does indeed work with XT and with Saxon.

The sample I just ran used this XML:

     <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="demo1.xsl" ?>
     <root>
     <subelem Type="ATAG"/>
     </root>

and this XSLT:

     <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
     <xsl:template match="subelem">
     <xsl:element name="{@Type}">myvalue</xsl:element>
     </xsl:template>
     </xsl:stylesheet>

What XSLT processor are you using? (That is *always* crucial information to 
provide.)

(Btw, my own "solution," posted shortly before Bob's, matched his except 
for the curly braces around the attribute reference, which are required; 
without them you do indeed get start and end tags <@Type> and </@Type>, 
respectively.)
