The current wording in Section 2.4 Document Subsets is: 

The processing of an element node E MUST be modified slightly when an 
XPath node-set is given as input and the element's parent is omitted 
from the node-set. The method for processing the attribute axis of an 
element E in the node-set is enhanced. All element nodes along E's 
ancestor axis are examined for nearest occurrences of attributes in 
the xml namespace, such as xml:lang and xml:space (whether or not they 
are in the node-set). From this list of attributes, remove any that are 
in E's attribute axis (whether or not they are in the node-set). Then, 
lexicographically merge this attribute list with the nodes of E's 
attribute axis that are in the node-set. The result of visiting the 
attribute axis is computed by processing the attribute nodes in this 
merged attribute list. 

Proposed rewording:
