WDYT?
Not sure I understood you, but, if you want something like:
<table>
<tr>
<th>firstname</th>
<th>lastname</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Schlabach</td>
<td>Torsten</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can have it with both XML formats.
It boils down to using "local-name()" instead of "@name" in the relevant
XSLT, like:
<xsl:template match="rowset">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<th><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/></th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
On the other hand, the format you proposed is cleaner indeed.
