I ran into a problem today trying to select elements in an XML tree. I
finally got it to work, but I had to make my XML handling different
from my HTML handling. Can someone help me to understand whether this
is a jquery bug or just a gap in my understanding?

To select my desired node in my HTML document, I used this syntax:

$('opti...@value="27"]')

And it worked fine. Trying the same syntax on XML:

$('effo...@weeknumber="5"], xml)

Causes the Javascript to fail entirely. But when I remove the @
symbol:

$('Effort[weekNumber="5"], xml)

It works fine. Why is the syntax different for XML?
