> Please clarify in the specification whether attribute tokenization and

The value of an attribute is tokenized and searched when it is in the
string value of a search content item, which I believe is only the case
when the attribute *is* the search context item. That is, the attribute
node must be an item in the value of the FTContainsExpr's RangeExpr.

That sentence should probably have ended with "in this example". Would that
have sufficed to preempt this issue?

The wording around that example is being changed for Bug 5886, and will
make this point clearer too.
