for input

<element>
	<element.name>hello</element.name>
	<element.subject>World</element.subject>
</element>


the stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.1">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" standalone="yes" media-type="text/xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="element">
	<xsl:element name="element">
	<xsl:for-each select="*">
		<xsl:variable name="subname"><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(local-name(),'.')" /></xsl:variable>
		<xsl:attribute name="{$subname}" ><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></xsl:attribute>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


results to:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<element name="hello" subject="World"></element>
