what do you mean by "atomic value" The term isn't used in XPath 1 but in
XPath2 it has a defined meaning (and means, essentially all values that
are not a node) so the answer to your question for XPath2 at least might
be "no".
is there a XPath expr that selects only
<Menu>
<Name>aaa</Name>
</Menu>
No, in XSLT XPath only selects into input trees not result trees and
theer is no such node in the input.
If you save the result into a temporary tree (either directly in XSLT2,
or using an xx:node-set extension in XSLT1) then you could of course
select that node from the temporary tree after building the tree with
xslt. Gowever I see you mentioned firefox which is one of the few XSLT1
systems not to offer a node-set extension.
