I am not sure I fully understand your question. Are you asking
about the way to stuff an attribute with user data inside your
XSLT stylesheet? Then there are several methods to achieve
that: use either attribute-value templates:

<rx:meta-field name="author" value="{/article/articleinfo/@author}"/>

or a full <xsl:attribute> element:

<rx:meta-field name="author">
  <xsl:attribute name="value">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="book/bookinfo/authorgroup/author[1]"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
</rx:meta-field>

Anyhow, this has nothing to do with XSL-FO in general and XEP
in particular. You can find a more qualified advice in XSLT-oriented
forums like XSL-list at MulberryTech:
