>   Attributes are nodes, but node() doesn't match attribute nodes.

true but that's nothing to do with the node() test, just that attributes
are not in the child axis. A pattern of node() doesn't math attribute or
docuement nodes because it is short for child::node() and attributes and
/ are not on the child axis. attribute::node() mactes attributes nodes.
