Copy name and value with XSLT

I run across a situation where I had to map a huge list of sibling nodes. I was required to send tuples of name (in upper case) and value. If they were few, I would use a Table Looping like always, but this time it was a lot of fields and I was feeling lazy. Here is the solution.

<xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />

<xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />

            <xsl:for-each select="//Data/item/*">

                  <xsl:element name="ns0:GenericDataContainerEntry">

                        <xsl:element name="ns0:GenericDataContainerEntryIndex">

                              <xsl:attribute name="value">

                                    <xsl:value-of select="./text()" />

                              xsl:attribute>

                              <xsl:attribute name="name">

                                    <xsl:value-of select="translate(name(.),$smallcase,$uppercase)" />

                              xsl:attribute>

                        xsl:element>

                  xsl:element>

            xsl:for-each>

      xsl:for-each>

xsl:element>

Do to all nodes

<xsl:for-each select="//Data/item/*">

Copy value

<xsl:value-of select="./text()" />

Copy name

<xsl:value-of select="name(.)" />

Copy name in upper case in XSLT 1.0 (found it here)

<xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />

<xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />

<xsl:value-of select="translate(name(.),$smallcase,$uppercase)" />
