XML syntax code must also be validated, compiled and executed. An implementation could do both at the time that the stylesheet is loaded rather than at the time it is needed. There are still good reasons to want non-ECMAScript access to attributes, but it is not the case that things in XML notation are necessarily fast and things in ECMAScript notation are necessarily slow.
