Subject: Universally quantified test of child attribute presence/absence

When processing some element in XSLT 2, I need to make sure whether all of its element children carry a specific attribute or if they don't. A mixed situation is to be considered as a fatal error, caught in an xsl:otherwise clause.

While the expression for the positive test obviously is

every $child in * satisfies $child/@my_attribute

I am unsure about the correct form of the negated expression to mandate that no child may have that attribute. Which variant can or must be used, and why?

every $child in * satisfies $child[not(@my_attribute)]

every $child in * satisfies not($child/@my_attribute)

not(every $child in * satisfies $child/@my_attribute)
