Hi Abel,
Sorry for the confusion. I meant only attribute nodes so I assume from your
examples that I have to put the entire path before each attribute of
interest.
Ie // tier1 / tier2 / @attrb1 | // tier1 / tier2 / @attrb2
Is there a way to exclude specific attributes in Xpath 1.0?

But I get the feeling that you want an identity transform of XML, where
you want to leave all elements in place, get rid of all attributes
except for a few. This can be done like:
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- throw away all attributes -->
<xsl:template match="@*" />
<!-- except these -->
<xsl:template match="@specific1 | @specific2">
<xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>
<!-- and these with specific parents -->
<xsl:template match="someparent/@specific1">
<xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>
HTH,
Cheers,
