No, you know it is on the document element. Th eroot node (/) is not an element node it is above that and essentially represents the whole document. The element node children of the root node are /* (there will only be one in a well formed document) and you want the attribute of that which is
/*/@RootAttributeValue
/@RootAttributeValue would get the attribute of the root node but root nodes don't have attributes, only children. (note they may have more than one child
<?xml-stylesheet .... ?> <!-- an example --> <x>
... </x>
has three child nodes of the root node, a processing instruction, a comment and an element node.
