I am not aware of the discussions, that went amongst the WG members,
when XSLT 1.0/XPath 1.0 was designed.

But I think,
Calling attributes as "nodes" is ok. As attributes are modeled similar
to other kinds of nodes. They have name, value, parent etc.

Attributes can be referred as @* while other kinds of nodes with
node() and so on.

I find this design ok :)
