That's very simple and straightforward - just say that you want value of 
attribite of parent element:

<xsl:template match="a1">
	<xsl:value-of select="../@root_attribute"/>
	<!-- Or the same in nonsimplified syntax -->
	<xsl:value-of select="parent::*/attribute::root_attribute"/>		
</xsl:template>
