     Still looking for an answer for this question...

     Eg>
     
     <myelement>text</myelement>
     
     vs,
     
     <xsl:element name="myelement">
     text
     </xsl:element>

Having nicely mixed them up all day today, I'll take a chance.

1. For simplicity, if you know what you want,
use literals.
  <element attribute="value"> .....
(Also less typing)

2. when you need to work out the element name,
   use <xsl:element name="{xpath calc}">

3. When you know half of it

   use
   <element-name attribute-1="value">
     <xsl:attribute name="{calculate-value}">
         <xsl:value-of select="calculated value"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
   </element-name>

Hope that helps.
Summary? Be as lazy as you can,
xml is verbose!
