Can't access attributes by name from a nodeset()

           Summary: Can't access attributes by name from a nodeset()
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: CurrentCVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW

Attributes in elements retrieved using the xalan:nodelist() function can't be 
retrieved by name:

 <value-of select="xalan:nodeset($books)/*[1]/@*[1]"/> is OK 
but,
 <value-of select="xalan:nodeset($books)/*[1]/@author"/> returns nothing.
