Use the indenity transformation template you have above plus the 
following template that matches your attribute for which you want 
special treatment:

<xsl:template match="@AttrToReplaceValueOf">
<xsl:attribute name="AttrToReplaceValueOf">
<xsl:value-of select="'newValue'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
