Funny enough that reversal is not random order, so you keep track of which attribute came first. I think it's likely a choice of data structure: somewhere there may be a {{Stack}}, or using {{addFirst}} on a {{LinkedList}}. So Xalan is aware of the order, because it's *consistently* reversing attributes regardless of name, element, value.

Here's a workaround that produces the expected result: use {{xsl:attribute}} s.
{code}
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/root">

<element attr1="val1" attr2="val2" attr3="val3" />

<element attr3="val3" attr2="val2" attr1="val1" />

<element>
<xsl:attribute name="attr1">val1</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="attr2">val2</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="attr3">val3</xsl:attribute>
</element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
{code}
