ng-repeat with ng-transclude inside a directive

Solved the problem myself:

I am able to do it in the compile step (jsfiddle) by adding the ng-repeat attribute when the template is compiled and feeding it the content of my attribute.

Html:

<div ng-app="myApp">
  <div ng-controller="ctrl">
    <mylist element="myItem in items">{{myItem}}</mylist>
  </div>
</div>

Javascript:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [])

.controller('ctrl', function ($scope) {
  $scope.items = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
})

.directive('mylist', function ($parse) {
  return {
    restrict:'E',
    transclude: 'element',
    replace: true,
    scope: true,
    template: [
      '<ul>',
      '<li ng-transclude></li>',
      '</ul>'
    ].join(''),
    compile: function (tElement, tAttrs, transclude) {
      var rpt = document.createAttribute('ng-repeat');
      rpt.nodeValue = tAttrs.element;
      tElement[0].children[0].attributes.setNamedItem(rpt);
      return function (scope, element, attr) {
        var rhs = attr.element.split(' in ')[1];
        scope.items = $parse(rhs)(scope);
        console.log(scope.items);
      }        
    }
  }
});
