I suspect the question is in there because I raised it as a query a few days before the current spec was published. The spec (both the April 21 draft and the previous one) states clearly that an attribute is not the child of its containing element, but it doesn't explicitly say whether or not the parent of an attribute is the containing element. Your knowledge of biology might lead you to imagine that "parent" and "child" are mutually inverse relationships, but it's dangerous to make such assumptions when reading a spec! (In any case, what have parents and children got to do with branches of a tree?) Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
