    I believe this is what you are looking for:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/country/regions" />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="regions">
    <RECORDS>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="region" />
    </RECORDS>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="region">
    <RECORD>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
    </RECORD>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="region/@*">
    <PROP name="{name()}">
      <PVAL>
        <xsl:value-of select="." />
      </PVAL>
    </PROP>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    When run on your input XML, this produces the output:

    <RECORDS>
  <RECORD>
    <PROP name="isocode">
      <PVAL>DE-BW</PVAL>
    </PROP>
