Also, the latter amounts to .//@minimum, if you also want it to test true if a node itself has an attribute called "minimum".
Remember (as was recently noticed) // is short for /descendant-or-self::node()/, so .//@minimum expands to
self::node()/descendant-or-self::node()/attribute::minimum
which tests true if the context node or any of its descendants has a "minimum" attribute.
To restrict it to leaf nodes (defined as elements with no element children), insert the same predicate to filter for that
./descendant-or-self::*[not(*)]/@minumum
You'll learn all this and more if you take Ken's XSLT/XPath course or Mulberry's. :->

Just skip the predicate that qualifies the node as being at the bottom, and you end up with:
test=".//*[@minimum]"
as the boolean test of any elements with the attribute. Alternatively since all you are doing is testing you could just have:
test=".//*/@minimum"
to address the attributes, but the way you worded it you wanted to address the elements that have the attribute.
