What do you mean? What's the problem with

<xsl:template match="alt"> 
    <i> <xsl:value-of select="@*[name()=$output]"/></i>
</xsl:template>  ??

On the other hand you can apply templates like elements:

<xsl:template match="alt"> 
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*[name()=$output]"/> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="@*"> 
    <i> <xsl:value-of select="."/></i>
</xsl:template> 

Or did I understand something completely wrong?
