Sorry, my fault. Just found out that the attribute sought is residing in another tree. Understandably the attribute is not found when the wrong root is taken. Thus \attributedef does its thing.

Now I have to find out how reference that other tree.

Is something amiss with \xmlattribute and \xmlattributedef?
I need these in order to get an attribute from a node higher up in the xml-tree.
