The XPath expression:

//*[@type="a"]

will select any element that has a type attribute with the value of "a", anywhere in the XML document.

Note:
You have tagged this question as XSLT. The answer above may or may not be useful in an XSLT stylesheet. It depends on what you want to accomplish by the transformation.
