try this one:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="xml" media-type="text/xml"
indent="no"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:for-each select="$old/metadata/*">
  <xsl:call-template name="new-meta">
   <xsl:with-param name="type"
select="current()/@type"/>
   <xsl:with-param name="format"
select="current()/@format"/>
   <xsl:with-param name="content" select="current()"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="new-meta">
<xsl:param name="type">unknown</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="format">unknown</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="content">none</xsl:param>
<meta>
 <xsl:attribute name="{$format}"><xsl:value-of
select="$type"/></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="content"><xsl:value-of
select="$content"/></xsl:attribute>
</meta>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:variable name="old">
<metadata>
<item type="placename" format="name">Glasgow</item>
<item type="country" format="name">GB</item>
<item type="telephone" format="international_form">+44
141</item>
</metadata>
</xsl:variable>

</xsl:stylesheet>
