I posted this question up at StackOverflow as well:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3026038/how-to-get-node-without-children-in-xquery

Hopefully this has a simple answer, "xQuery/xPath 201" perhaps.  So I have
two nodes of elements that I'm essentially trying to join. I want the top
level node to stay the same but the child nodes to be replaced by those
cross referenced.

Given:

<stuff>
  <item foo="foo" boo="1"/>
  <item foo="bar" boo="2" />
  <item foo="baz" boo="3"/>
  <item foo="blah boo="4""/>
</stuff>

<list  a="1" b="2">
  <foo>bar</foo>
  <foo>baz</foo>
</list>

I want to loop through "list" and cross reference elements in "stuff" for
this result:

<list  a="1" b="2">
  <item foo="bar" boo="2" />
  <item foo="baz" boo="3"/>
</list>

I want to do this without having to know about what attributes might be on
"list". In other words I don't want to have to explicitly call them out like

attribute a { $list/@a }, attribute b { $list/@b }

Thanks!
Mike
