Funny you should mention... We at Mulberry just revised our
introductory XSLT course, yet again, and decided that in a
2-day course there was no time for
        xsl:element, xsl:attribute, etc.
We decided that they were very useful advanced features,
but way behind, for example, Named Templates as something
that a beginner needs to know.
