Ah, the dreaded attributes-vs-elements issue. This works:
For this document:
<doc>
<sometag>blah</sometag>
<someothertag>blah blah</someothertag>
</doc>
applying this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="doc">
<xsl:element name="result">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="doc/*">
<xsl:element name="attribute">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:element name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="./text()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
produces this result:
<result>
<attribute name="sometag"><value>blah</value></attribute>
<attribute name="someothertag"><value>blah blah</value></attribute>
</result>
HTH...
