You can't modify the source tree (as you know, since you've read it in the tutorial or spec, right) - you have to make a modified copy of it.

An identity transformation with a template for @CT to modify it the way you want to, i.e.

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@CT">
  <xsl:attribute name="CT">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
    <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
    <!-- the code that counts the 'like values' -->
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
