My mistake. I should elaborate. I think you're talking about 

<A>
<B/>
<xsl:attribute name="b">bbb</xsl:attribute>
<A>

( which is forbidden )

My point was that just existance of  xsl:attribute 
is making streaming hard and there are also some 
other things...  That's why there is no (?) XSLT 
engines that support the streaming. I think this is 
all as hypitetical as 'no-side-effects allows paralellism'
( there is no parallelism in current XSLT engines)
