You get what you ask for: the content of the @name attribute.
The processor won't interpret it as an XPath and evaluate it
again just because it looks like a good idea to you. There is
nothing magic about using xsl:attribute.

Not in standard XSLT. Most processors have an extension function
called evaluate() or something similar, which takes a string as
parameter and evaulates the string as XPath expression:
<input type="text" name="{@name} value="{xx:evaluate(@name)}" size="{@size}">
Consult the manual of your processor for the details. This will
make your style sheet non-portable. Therefore better yet:

You should use names/ids for crossreferences in you XML instead of
XPath expressions:
<page>
<article>
<header id="id1">foo</header>
<leadin>bar</leadin>
</article>
<form>
<text name="id1" size="60"/>
</form>
</page>
Use in XSL:
<xsl:key name="value" match="*" use="@id"/>
...
<input type="text" name="{@name} value="{key('value',@name)}" size="{@size}">
If you are using XForms, well, you're stuck with evaluate().
