You mean all 'attributes are optional' right? Yes, that's a good point. 
I wasn't sure about the correct formulation for this and just took the 
lead from the rubyRule where all the attributes are also optional, but 
you are right this leaves the meaningless option of having no attribute 
for agent (I'm not sure if the same is a problem for ruby).

Would a better formulation would be the following?

  * A required *selector* <#att.selector.attribute.selector> attribute.
    It contains an XPath expression which selects the nodes to which
    this rule applies.
  * At least one of the following:
      o A *transAgent* <#att.local.no-ns.attribute.locNoteRef> attribute
        that contains one or more comma separated strings, each one
        identifying a different translation agent.
      o A *transAgentRef* <#att.local.no-ns.attribute.locNoteRef>
        attribute that contains one or more space-separated IRI, each
        referring to a resource that identifies a different translation
        agent.
      o A *transRevisionAgent* <#att.local.no-ns.attribute.locNoteRef>
        attribute that contains one or more comma separated strings,
        each one identifying a different translation revision agent.
      o A *transRevisionAgentRef*
        <#att.local.no-ns.attribute.locNoteRef> attribute that contains
        one or more space-separated IRI, each referring to a resource
        that identifies a different translation revision agent.
