Output:
Current output [wrong]:
This script gives output without column name "id". Some "version" column value added in "id(not visible)" column as there is no attribute name id in node. eg. MS node has version attribute only hence output result added version info in "id" column. Please go through output once, possibly save and check in html for proper understanding.

Expected output:
Every attribute as columnname/header and all column have their own value. NOTE: Attributes MS, JAVA, etc as column Name should not be hard coded because the number of attributes may change on runtime.

Hummm, I have tried to fix the HTML issue and the problem you are facing. This is a bit mannual, but can achieve your requirement. Here is the XSL:
Here is the output of it:
I have tested it on http://www.xslfiddle.net/
If you are looking to output one column for each possible attribute name, and not restrict it to just id and version, then (in XSLT 1.0) you could make use of a technique called Muenchian Grouping to get the distinct attribute names.
First define a key to look up the attributes by their name
Then, to get the distinct ones (or rather, get the first occurrence of each distinct name), you can define a variable like so
Then, to output the column headers, you can just iterate over this variable
For each row, you would take a similar approach. Assuming you were positioned on a child element, you could first define a variable that contains the attributes of the current element. Then you would iterate over the columns variable again, and output the value of the corresponding attribute for the current element
Try this XSLT
This should output the following
Note, for brevity, I have not included code to output "Not exists" in the case where the attribute does not exist. But it should be simple enough to add a check for this. (Just store the value in a variable, and use an xsl:choose)
EDIT: If you want to restrict the attributes to specifically be for Software elements too, try changing the key to this:
