This attribute is one of the many places in XSLT where the value you supply
must be known at compile time.
But I never use attribute-sets anyway. It's usually just as convenient, and
a lot more flexible, to output the attributes using a named template
containing xsl:attribute instructions. That way you can use conditional
logic (xsl:if and xsl:choose) to decide which attributes to output.
