## Notes

- The input `XNode` is typically obtained from the **Get XML Nodes** activity or by navigating an `XDocument`.
- Each `XAttribute` in the output has `Name` and `Value` properties.
- If the node has no attributes, the output collection is empty.
- Only elements have attributes; other node types return none.
