At risk of being pedantic, there are a few XSLT instructions where at
least some of the attribute values require curly braces if the attribute
value is an expression. Based on the syntax description (Appendix B) in
the spec, they are:

xsl:attribute
xsl:element
xsl:number
xsl:processing-instruction
xsl:sort
