Thanks! (Didn't mean to keep you out from the last thank you mail).
Does what your mail say, imply that /*/@RootAttributeValue actually searches
through every 3 child nodes (in your example) looking for the attribute? Not
that this still won't be _way_ more effecient than the other solution, I
just want to understand the process...
Sincerly

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.
