By the way, 

startAt.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.everyItem().remove();

-- not sure if "everyitem" works with CS2. I've been in '3 for quite a while and skipped the previous incarnation. If it doesn't, iterate manually: 

{

 for (var j=startAt.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.length-1; j>=0; j--)

  startAt.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.remove();

}


after the "if .."

It just needs a little recursion. I wrote this 

removeTags (app.activeDocument);



function removeTags (startAt)

{

 for (var i=startAt.xmlElements.length-1; i>=0; i--)

 {

  if (startAt.xmlElements.xmlElements.length > 0)

   removeTags (startAt.xmlElements);

  startAt.xmlElements.untag();

 }

}

in 2 minutes, found out that untag() already untags everything
i including
its sub-elements, then re-read your post. Ah ... just the attributes... Oh well. How about this: 

removeTags (app.activeDocument);



function removeTags (startAt)

{

 for (var i=startAt.xmlElements.length-1; i>=0; i--)

 {

  if (startAt.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.length > 0)

   startAt.xmlElements.xmlAttributes.everyItem().remove();

  removeTags (startAt.xmlElements);

 }

}
