Another drawback of my suggestion is you do not get the feature of 
attribute sets where a literal result element's specified attributes 
take precedence over the like-named attribute in the referenced 
set.  To mimic that you'd have to follow the calling template with 
attribute instructions that would have been satisfied with specified 
attributes.

So attribute sets still have their role, but they can only be 
referenced in literal result elements or other attribute sets.
