> Is this the expected behaviour?

No.


Unrelated to your question, but you could simplify


<xsl:template match="row">
	<row>
		<xsl:for-each select="@*">
			<xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
				<xsl:value-of select="."/>
			</xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</row>
</xsl:template>



to

<xsl:template match="row">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
