I think so Ken. 
  How about a named template, param the @remap value,
read the external file of attribute sets, then copy over
the attributes explicitly and generates the output element
with all the attributes... 
  Long winded, but keeps the world tidy. 

Bit messy with nested xsl:use-attribute-sets :-)
