A:
You can go "up" a level using "..". So:
<xsl:value-of select="../@attr1"/>

@Wondering - the expression "//@attr1" will scan the ENTIRE document (and won't stop even when it finds the first match). This is very inefficient and could grab the wrong @attr1(if you have that attribute in other places). @Adam Batkin's solution is more efficient and less likely to accidentally select the wrong value.
