One doesn't typically use the "//", but it doesn't make it wrong.

Your expressions look valid to me, though I would have written them as:

  <xsl:template match="A[B/@attr = 1]">

or

  <xsl:template match="A[B[@attr = 1]]">

You say "it didn't work" but you don't say how or why you think 
so.  I suspect you have something else wrong in your stylesheet.

I hope this helps.
