/*/attribute(*)

Should match any attribute on the document (outermost) element. NSXML fails.


From XPath 2.0 Spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#abbrev

If the axis name is omitted from an axis step, the default axis is child unless the axis step contains an AttributeTest or SchemaAttributeTest; in that case, the default axis is attribute. For example, the path expression section/para is an abbreviation for child::section/child::para, and the path expression section/@id is an abbreviation for child::section/attribute::id. Similarly, section/attribute(id) is an abbreviation for child::section/attribute::attribute(id). Note that the latter expression contains both an axis specification and a node test.
