XSL does not permit '<xsl:attribute name="align" select="@align"/>' -
the select attribute does not apply here. (See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#creating-attributes)
You probably want to use either
<xsl:attribute name="align">
  <xsl:value-of select="@align/>
</xsl:attribute name="align">

or the attribute value template:

<col align="{@align}"/>
