<xsl:variable name="somenode" select="msxsl:node-set( $somedata )" />
<xsl:value-of select="$somenode/@attr" />
You are trying to get the value of an attribute of the document node
of a temporary tree.
A document nodes (root nodes in XSLT 1.0 terminology) doesn't have
attributes as it is not an element node.
Probably you meant:
<xsl:value-of select="$somenode/*/@attr" />

Thanks. I want to use a named template to avoid putting certain XPath

Since I don't think there is a pure XSL solution I have been trying with
node-set, but that's not working for me either. This seems to give no
output; I am pretty sure the solution is something obvious but I don't
see it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:variable name="somedata">
<xsl:call-template name="sometemplate" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="somenode" select="msxsl:node-set( $somedata )" />
<xsl:value-of select="$somenode/@attr" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="sometemplate">
<xsl:copy-of select="/root/node1" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And the sample data again:
<root>
<node1 attr="node1attrval">
<node1a>node1atext</node1a>
</node1>
<node2 attr="node1attrval">
<node2a>node2atext</node2a>
</node2>
</root>

xsl:variable with content and no select attribute always (in xslt1)
generates a result tree fragment not a node set. Therefor you can not
query into the variable using XPath (or anything else) You can only copy
it to the result, using copy-of or use it as a string.
and I am hoping to stay away from XSL extensions if possible.
It's hard to avoid xx:node-set() (which is designed exactly to get round
this problem) Most systems have a node-set() extension function (with
mozilla's transformiix engine being the main exception)
Of course if your templates are not actually creating any new nodes (as
in your example) then you have an easy solution: just use xsl:variable
with select as in
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:variable name="somenode"select="/root/node1" />
<xsl:value-of select="$somenode/@attr" />
</xsl:template>
