XSLT: An attribute node (ana) cannot be created after a child of the containing element

I have been trying to apply an XSL to my XML but I keep getting the error: An attribute node (ana) cannot be created after a child of the containing element. in line 25 of the XSL. It appears to be a problem with the element "ana" but I haven't been able to find the right solution yet.

This is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
  <teiHeader>
  <fileDesc>
     <titleStmt>
        <title>number of the XML</title>
        <author>Myname</author>
     </titleStmt>
     <editionStmt>
        <edition>
           <date>2018-12-20</date>
        </edition>
     </editionStmt>
     <publicationStmt>
        <p>unknown</p>
     </publicationStmt>
     <sourceDesc>
        <p>Converted from a Word document</p>
     </sourceDesc>
  </fileDesc>
  <encodingDesc>
     <appInfo>
        <application xml:id="docxtotei" ident="TEI_fromDOCX" version="2.15.0">
           <label>DOCX to TEI</label>
        </application>
     </appInfo>
  </encodingDesc>
  <revisionDesc>
     <listChange>
        <change>
           <date>2021-05-21T15:08:01Z</date>
           <name>MyName</name>
        </change>
     </listChange>
  </revisionDesc>
 </teiHeader>

And this is my XSL:

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"

        <xsl:variable name="xml_id" select="/TEI/teiHeader/encodingDesc/appInfo/application/@xml:id"/>
        <!-- The variable xml_id can be used for further processing.  -->   
        <xsl:attribute name="xml:id"><xsl:value-of select="'Project-CT'"/></xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="xml:lang"><xsl:value-of select="'ca'"/></xsl:attribute>
        <teiHeader>
            <fileDesc>

The error message you report is quite clear: adding an attribute to an element after children have been added to it is an error:
https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116/#creating-attributes

That means that instead of:

                    <meeting>
                        <xsl:value-of   select="'num sessió'"/>
                        <xsl:attribute name="ana"><xsl:value-of select="'#parla session'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="corresp"><xsl:value-of select="'#PC'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="n"><xsl:value-of select="'X'"/></xsl:attribute>
                    </meeting>

you need to do:

                    <meeting>
                        <xsl:attribute name="ana"><xsl:value-of select="'#parla session'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="corresp"><xsl:value-of select="'#PC'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="n"><xsl:value-of select="'X'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:value-of   select="'num sessió'"/>
                    </meeting>

And likewise, instead of:

                        <resp>
                            <xsl:value-of   select="'Data retrieval and conversion to XML'"/>
                            <xsl:variable name="xml_lang" select="'en'"/>
                            <!-- The variable xml_lang can be used for further processing.  -->
                            
                            
                            <xsl:attribute name="xml:lang"><xsl:value-of select="'ca'"/></xsl:attribute>
                        </resp>

you need:

                        <resp>
                            <xsl:attribute name="xml:lang"><xsl:value-of select="'ca'"/></xsl:attribute>
                            <xsl:value-of   select="'Data retrieval and conversion to XML'"/>
                            <xsl:variable name="xml_lang" select="'en'"/>
                            <!-- The variable xml_lang can be used for further processing.  -->
                            
                            
                        </resp>

and so on for the rest of your stylesheet (I will not go over 241 lines (!) of code).

Note also that the XML you show us is in a namespace which your XSLT completely ignores. As a result, none of your XPath expressions will select anything in the source XML - see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34762628/3016153

BTW, the instruction:

<xsl:attribute name="ana"><xsl:value-of select="'#parla session'"/></xsl:attribute>

can be simplified to:

<xsl:attribute name="ana">#parla session</xsl:attribute>

and the entire block could be reduced to a single literal result element:

<meeting ana="#parla session" corresp="#PC" n="X">num sessió</meeting>

In addition, doing:

<xsl:for-each select=".">

is entirely redundant: there is only one current node.
