The optional use-attribute-sets attribute is a white-space delimited list of attribute sets that are to be applied to the generated node. This is essentially a list of qnames. A qname is a qualified name that is composed of an optional namespace prefix, a colon, which is only present if there is a prefix, and a mandatory XML name (for example, xsl:zipcode or zipcode). The use-attribute-sets attribute performs the same purpose as the xsl:attribute element.
