A method for doing this is using <xsl:attribute> as follows:
=============================================
<xsl:template match="Message">
<input type="hidden" name="id">
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:template>
=============================================
A bit verbose, but I do this all the time. Just think of XSLT as
an "assembly language" for tree-walking not a general-purpose
programming language.
