Maybe you should explore something like this:
<xsl:element name='image'>
<xsl:for-each select='@*'>
<xsl:attribute name='qname(.)'><xsl:value-of select='.'
/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
This way, the transformer is at least aware of the tag you are trying to
insert into the output.

I *REALLY* detest that idiom. I've seen many people hurt themselves by
trying to hand-generate XML; I consider it a very bad practice. Unless
you're forced to do it in order to work with a downstream tool which has
not been implemented correctly, I would recommend finding another
solution. Any other solution.
