  match="foo/@bar"

But that doesn't seem entirely right because attributes are not children


it is right. / does not mean `children' it means `next step' and at each
step you can change axis along which to travel, here you have @ which is
short for attribute::, and no specified axis is short for child:: so the
above is really

child::foo/attribute::bar

which means get bar attributes of foo children.
