If I do a <xsl:whatever select="attribute(foo)"/>, does the
select the
not default to the child axis
No, this is special-cased: if the node test has the form attribute(xxx) or
schema-attribute(xxx) then the axis defaults to the the attribute axis.
Another one:
Will "self::node()/@foo" ever select anything, or any nodes not by
killed .. killed by axes .. even two of them, disjoint
princpal node types?
self::node() selects the context node regardless what kind it is, the
principal node kind doesn't come into it. So the above expression is fine.
But self::*/@foo will never select anything.
