I would add that in any discussion of the relationship between elements
and their attributes, it is prudent to mention that in XPath/XSLT,
attributes are not, contrary to what one might think, the children of
their elements. But elements are their attributes' parents. An interesting
paradox, that only makes sense if you consider that attributes are like
rebellious teenagers.
