It looks like you're using close to HTML in your XML, so something like this
might do the trick. You might have to process @source separately if you're
not able to rename it @src.

<xsl:template match="image[@type='html']">
  <img>
    <xsl:copy-of select="attribute::*[. != '']" />
  </img>
</xsl:template>

Otherwise I think you'll have to process each attribute separately.

<xsl:template match="image[@type='html']">
  <img>
    <xsl:for-each select="@border|@alt|@align (etc)">
      <xsl:if test=". != ''">
        <xsl:copy />
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </img>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps.
