The above template is invalid for XSLT 1.0, xsl:attribute has no select 
attribute [1]. It has to be

<xsl:attribute name="idbis">
   <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>

The funny thing is it worked in older versions of Xalan as well and I 
used to use it. With one version (might have been 2.5) it suddenly 
stopped working, so Xalan was changed to be standard-compliant. As you 
said this has been added back to XSLT 2.0 though [2].
