This is just horrible. disable-output-escaping should never be used to
construct markup in the serialized output. And in this case, there's no
possible excuse because the correct code is dead easy:

><xsl:template match="z:row">  
><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&lt;image&gt;</xsl:text>
><xsl:for-each select="@*">
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&lt;</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&gt;</xsl:text>
>  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
>  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&lt;/</xsl:text>
>  <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
>  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&gt;</xsl:text>
></xsl:for-each>
><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">&lt;/image&gt;</xsl:text>
></xsl:template>

What's wrong with:

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