XML -> XML transformations typically start with an identity transform template.
Another template matches the elements that could receive a pseudo-copy of it's parent attributes:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="node() |@*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="source/*">
<xsl:variable name="rd" select="../@*[contains(name(),'_default')]"/>
<xsl:copy>
	<xsl:for-each select="$rd">
		<xsl:attribute name="{substring-before(name(.),'_default')}">
			<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		</xsl:attribute>
	</xsl:for-each>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
