Xsl:attribute error in oraxsl command line

Question

Hi Forum,
I'm getting error XML-22047 when trying to use xsl:attribute.
Here's the test XML I'm using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
   <level1>Test-Content</level1>
</root>
now, this is the stylesheet I'm using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:mdm="schema.condes.org/mds/meta" version="2.0" xml:space="preserve">
   <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="root">
      <Foo>
         <xsl:attribute name="test">testing attribute</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </Foo>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If I run this, it throws error XML-22047, invalid instantiation of 'attribute' in 'element' context (translated from the German error message...)
Has anybody seen this and could advice me some help?
Thanks, Jürgen

Use xsl:element instead of explicit element.
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:element name="Foo">
<xsl:attribute name="test">testing attribute</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
