Just for your information: The relevant bit in the spec states that "An attribute node may have an element node as its parent, even though the attribute node is not a child of the element node."

Hi Steven,
Yes, it is different in two ways.
First, it would be all descendants, not children.
Second, and more more important, the attributes of the node and all its descendants are not children of their containing element. But the elements are all ancestors (parents, in fact) of their attributes.

Subject: A node and its children

says
"The indicated node and all nodes for which it is an ancestor are
selected."
Is this different to
"The indicated node and its children are selected."
