I have this xml.
the name attribute values are not known and could contain any value

<tag name="indexes">
    <tag name="scro_number">S29811/94Q</tag>
    <tag name="subject_surname">DICKIE</tag>
    <tag name="keywords">DICKIE</tag>
    <tag name="case_number">BA05001553</tag>
    <tag name="office_code">BA</tag>
    <tag name="date_of_receipt">2005-10-07</tag>
    <tag name="witness_seq_no">1</tag>
</tag>

and want to generate this

<indexes>
    <scro_number>S29811/94Q</scro_number>
    <subject_surname>DICKIE</subject_surname>
    <keywords>DICKIE</keywords>
    <case_number>BA05001553</case_number>
    <office_code>BA</office_code>
    <date_of_receipt>2005-10-07</date_of_receipt>
    <witness_seq_no>1</witness_seq_no>
</indexes>

I hwve tried to create a new element using the name attribute to give it a name

<xsl:element>
  <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@name"></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

but it appears that the element must have a fixed name

Any ideas??

<xsl:element name="{$name}">
