With CSS you can't display attribute values.

Attribute values are seen as just that: attributes of another entity, not text. If you want to display these values you need to either change the way that the xml is generated, or convert the xml afterwards.

Yep, everybody's right. You can, however, process the XML using something like PHP, Python, or something else and then do things to it that way. Of course, that's really just a more involved (and time-consuming in terms of your coding) way to "convert the xml afterwards", something that jkmyoung pointed out as one way to solve your problem. An easy way would be to use XSLT as an intermediate step, matching all attributes and outputting them with their values as XML elements and text. I can't say how fast it would be though if you use it solely through a browser rather than using an intermediate language like PHP or something. :p
