Well I found out by myself.
Sorry for the unnecessary noise.
The solution was, using the compact form :
<xsl:template match="texte">
No Page : <xsl:value-of select="../@no"/>
</xsl:template>
Yet, I don't know why the expanded form did not work.
<tip type="DomXml and PHP" author="Eric Cestari">
The actual DomXml support for PHP is quite weak. No deleting, no
ordering while adding nodes.
For content management, it is not very useful.
Yet, if you went to use PHP for XML application, use two attributes for
each of your elements, 'position' and 'delete'.
'position' refers to the ordering within the children of an element, and
elements with attributes delete='1' are to be deleted.
Then use a XSL to reorder your elements and delete element.
