> Why attributes are no childs of its element? because the "normal" view of XML/SGML trees is that they are not. The tree structure comes (mainly) from the element nesting, and attributes are essentially labels on the nodes in that tree. XSLT was considered controversial because it declared that the parent of attribute nodes were the element (so the .. abreviation worked) not because it declared attributes were not children.
