Remember to work *with* the template matching rules, not *against* them:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Ignore these tags in regular processing -->
<xsl:template match="id | eventName | applicationName | originator |
variable | timestamp | typeid"/>
<!-- copy all other attributes as '<dataset>...</dataset>' -->
<xsl:template match="*">
<dataset>
<tag> <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> </tag>
<value> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </value>
</dataset>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="request">
<xsl:copy>
<!-- Convert to attributes -->
<xsl:for-each select="id | eventName | applicationName | originator |
variable | timestamp | typeid">
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<!-- Do everything else -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
