Is there some reason not to use

Not that I can see ... though the "./" is redundant.


What led you to believe this was verboten?

All you are doing is pushing an attribute node at your stylesheet for matching. Note that the built-in template rule for matching an attribute simply adds the content of the attribute to the result tree, so if you don't catch the node with a template match, you may get text in your output you don't want.

I hope this helps.
