The template would add the the given attribute name with the attribute value to the given note. Is this possible with XSLT - and if so, where can I get it? :-)

You have already posted much of the solution:
<xsl:template name="add-attribute">
<xsl:param name="el"/>
<xsl:param name="att-name"/>
<xsl:param name="att-value"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$el">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="{$att-name}">
<xsl:value-of select="$att-value"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Call as

<xsl:call-template name="add-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="el" select="foo"/>
<xsl:with-param name="att-name" select="'bar'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="att-value" select="'baz'"/>
</xsl:call-template>

Perfect! Thanks, Martin.
