You didn't say what XSL processor you are using. If it is one that
implements recent versions of the spec, this should work:

<!-- template for handling source tree elements named 'form' -->
<xsl:template match="form">
  <!-- put a form element in the result tree -->
  <form>
    <!-- add the attributes -->
    <xsl:for-each select="@*"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="name()"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <!-- process the children of form element in source tree -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </form>
</xsl:template>
