I have not been in touch with XSLT for a couple of years now and this simple transformation I can not describe in XSLT:
<params>
<param name="somename">value</param>
</params>

should be transformed to:

<INPUT>
  <SOMENAME>value</SOMENAME>
</INPUT

So basically the parameter "name" should be transformed to a tag in the final XML.

Can anyone give me a starting point how to do that?

t:\ftemp>type phil.xml
<params>
  <param name="somename">value</param>
</params>

t:\ftemp>type phil.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="2.0">

<xsl:template match="params">
  <INPUT>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </INPUT>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="param">
  <xsl:element name="{upper-case(@name)}">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
t:\ftemp>xslt2 phil.xml phil.xsl con
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<INPUT>
  <SOMENAME>value</SOMENAME>
</INPUT>
t:\ftemp>
