Hi Jack, Try this ...
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _root = doc.xmlElements[0];
var _xmlElements = _root.evaluateXPathExpression("descendant-or-self::*[@XXX]");
var i = _xmlElements.length;
while( i-- ){
_xmlElements.xmlInstructions.add('XXX', _xmlElements.xmlAttributes.item('XXX').value);
_xmlElements.xmlAttributes.item('XXX').remove();
}
