[xquery-talk] separating attribute name from its value

[Michael Kay]

Your question is a bit confused because some of your start tags were
probably meant to be end tags, but I suspect you want something along the
lines

for $attr in $j//@*
return <attribute name="{name($attr)} value="{string($attr)}"/>
