Then why not replace the xsl:for-each and xsl:if by <xsl:for-each
select="@System">?

In fact, the whole thing could be rewritten:

<xsl:template match="/Request">
<data>
  <Elem name="Request">
     <attr n="System">
        <val s="{@System}"/>
     </attr>
  </Elem>
</data>
</xsl:template>

Because a template written to match an element with local name Request in no
namespace will not match an element with local name Request in namespace
http://www.abc.com. The namespace is logically part of the element name.
