So, instead, you'd have to write (@* | ./descendant::*/@*). In that case, the actual definition of // is handy.

Or, "descendant-or-self::*/@*", the long way, which works in any case (and is a good thing to know how to write even if you never write it).

The bottom line seems to be that like many features of many technologies, "//" works best for those who can also do without it. And this would probably be true no matter how it was defined.

Cheers,
Wendell
