A is not actually the parent of c but an ancestor (b is the parent!), but the code you are looking for is this

<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::A/@attr1">

(You could replace ancestor with parent in the case A was the direct parent of c)

You could also do this:

<xsl:value-of select="../../@attr1">

But this would assume A is always the 'grand-parent` (i.e. the parent of the parent).
