[xsl] question about identity transform

Hi,

I've used the identity transform many times to do useful things and have often wondered about the match pattern. Why is the match pattern

"node() | @*"

rather than simply "node()"? Aren't attributes returned by node()?

I read this and didn't find the answer:
