Well both, the second being preferred for "normal" processing. But I 
ignore something: is this possible today with qexo ? If yes, it can be 
very useful , in fact what I need is to be able to do:

define function x(){<a b="c" d="e"/>/@*}
for $a in x() return <foo name="{attribute-name($a)}" 
value="{string($a)}" />
which would return :
<foo name="b" value="c"/><foo name="d" value="e"/>

yes! http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#computedConstructors

But you have something similar anyway (finally , I have found it...):

let $x:= "a" , $y = "b" return make-element($x, make-attribute($y,"3"))
returns what I want : <a b="3"/>

Bye!
