It works with libxslt 1.0.19 also:
(188 ...src/xml/libxslt-1.0.19/xsltproc) ./xsltproc ~/xslt-att/doctest.xsl ~/xslt-att/x.xml 


Data: typed data in stylesheet
(189 ...src/xml/libxslt-1.0.19/xsltproc) ./xsltproc -V
Using libxml 20422, libxslt 10019 and libexslt 710

For the changes Daniel did, see 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/2002-June/thread.html#00055

I think the point is, that libxslt used the parsed tree of the xslt
stylesheet before and does now parse the stylesheet again (to get
correct results).
