[xsl] Getting attribute from rootnode...?

["Ragulf Pickaxe" <jawxml at hotmail dot com>]

Hello again guru's

I have a stylesheet that must have a value that is placed as an attribute in 
the topmost (root) element. The name of this, the topmost element, is not 
known because the stylesheet is used for different documents.

This value I want in a global variable. Currently I use this code:
<xsl:variable name="foo" select"//@RootAttributeValue"/>

Is this the best sollution? It seems that this will check every node for the 
attribute, while I know that it is in the rootnode.

I tried
<xsl:variable name="foo" select"/@RootAttributeValue"/>
but this doesn't work (it doesn't get any value). Why doesn't this work?

How do I on toplevel select the rootnode when I don't know it's name?

Hope you can help me...
Ragulf Pickaxe :)
