I tend to do that but you can replace ROWSET by xsl:copy if you prefer
Your template for ROWSET basically should look like the template for the
identity transform, with the one extra bit that you want to add, namely
the TABLE element. In teh identity transform as you are matching * you
have to use xsl:copy as you don't know the element name, but when
matching an explict element it's a matter of taste which to use.

No, just add
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
and it'll copy all the attributes over, again this should also be in
your identity transform (the one in the xslt spec applys templates to @*
rather than copying them but it's the same thing as the templates
matching attribute nodes then copy the nodes)
