If you're using the tool I think you are:

//@* will select all attributes

/country/state/city/attribute::size for instance, would get the size of a
city in a hypothetical example.
or //city/@size
or //@size

It's evaluating as if the current context is the root node.  I don't think
the tool allows you to select context node.
