Wow, impressive. (The searchAttributes macro is recursive!) I have tested the 2 macros with an XHTML document and they seem to work flawlessly.
Just remove 'trace="true"' if you don't want to be annoyed by traces. Note that you can improve the feedback by using commands beep (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s04.html) and status (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s55.html). Many thanks for your contribution. If you are interested, send us an order form with your coordinates (http://www.xmlmind.com/store/order.php) and you'll be offered a free XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition. On the negative side, our Web site does not have a contribution area and we do not intend to add one in the short term. However, if I receive an inquiry about the lack of the search attributes feature, I'll point the user to your macros.
