the fact that in a match, as in a select a step without an explicit axis
is an abbreviated child axis.

a node test node() will be true for an attribute node, which is why
attribute::node() is true (but equivalent to @* so not usually written).

but match=node() matches those nodes for which there exists some other
node such that $x//node() selects a node set that includes the node you
are trying to match. attributes are never in //
