And an attribute's self:: axis would naturally be an attribute axis, which

ah, but it does hold, see my reply to Andrew.

yes, you're right, I only read your message after I sent mine... I
could've learned something of yours ;)

Again, I don't know why the self axis isn't available for
attribute nodes... any ideas?
The self axis is available for attribute nodes. But the principal node kind
of the self axis is "element", so self:xxx means self::element(xxx) and
self::* means self::element(*). In 2.0 you can write
self::attribute(xxx)
This explains why I was "feeling" that self:: only works with element
names. Because I only scarcely use the elaborate syntax.
But, if we have @foo standing for attribute::foo and attribute(foo), why
can I not do self::@foo?
But (2nd) I am glad there's a way to express it directly on the self-axis.
