DOCBOOK-APPS: Attibutes in DSSSL

[Peter Schrammel <peter.schrammel@unibw-muenchen.de>]

Hi,
(please point me to a correct list if this might be off-topic here)

I have two problems in rewriting the docbook stylesheets:

1.
I try to copy the current-node 1:1 with a simple procedure
(here for empty-elements only):

(define (copy-empty)
                (make empty-element
                gi: (gi (current-node))
                attributes: (attributes (current-node))

))

I assume the problem is that attributes returns a list of nodes but
attributes: needs a list of list of strings. I don't know how to get the
key-value pairs out of the nodes.

2. Is there something like (element (name default) ...)
so that I can match all the children of name to a default handler like
it is done with (default ....) ?

Does anybody know solutions to these problems ? Sorry I'm a DSSSL
newbie.Thanks for your help,
