The above template *matches* 'type' attributes whose value is
'interesting'. If you want to apply templates to such attributes, then
you need to use something like:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="@type[. = 'interesting']" />

in a template where the context node is an <Annotation> element. Note
that unlike elements, attributes do not get templates applied to them
unless you explicitly tell the processor to do so.

Perhaps you actually want to match <Annotation> elements whose type
attribute is 'interesting'? In that case, use:

<xsl:template match="Annotation[@type = 'interesting']">
  ...
</xsl:template>

Cheers,

Jeni
