Hello Chris,
using disable-output-escaping is the completely wrong. Please look here for
more information: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N2215.html.
Why aren't you creating the table on element test?
And a second hint: why not using templates? In general I prefer templates
instead of for-each.

<xsl:template match="test">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>att1</td>
<td>att2</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:apply-templates select="item"/>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@att1"/>
<xsl:if test="not(@att1)">default</xsl:if>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@att2"/>
<xsl:if test="not(@att2)">default</xsl:if>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
