node() matches the root node, for example in the following XPath expression:

     ancestor::node()

But again, not in a pattern. XSLT spec explicitly says

"node() matches any node other than an attribute node and the root node"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#patterns

Btw, here is another pattern that matches root node :o)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:key name="mykey" match="/" use="'root'"/>
  <xsl:template match="key('mykey', 'root')">
        ...
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
