Wouldn't
attribute::xyz:foo
or
@xyz:foo
work?
Not if you are already sitting at an attribute node as the current node.
If you want to check the current node is an attribute node (say from within
a predicate or within a template rule that matches many different types of
nodes), then you need the machinations to get what you need.
In Evan's example he wanted a test to be done in the predicate when the
current node is an attribute node.
