My experience with XSLT has been the oposite -- that it's much easier to work with attributes than to work with text nodes... The only exception is that I haven't found a way to conditionally remove an attribute -- that is, I can conditionally create an attribute, and I can copy all attributes with <xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> but I can't find any way to remove an attribute after copying them with xsl:copy-of ... but everything else I find much easier to do with attributes.
