This seems to be working now on 2.4.0.

You should use:

Node node = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode( getNode(), "attribute::algorithm" );

if the context node is encryption-scheme as in your sample below.

Node node = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode( getNode(),
"/encryption-service/encryption-scheme/attribute::algorithm" );

also works because the xpath expression starts with '/' and hence is evaluated 
starting at the root.

Node node = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode( getNode(),
"encryption-service/encryption-scheme/attribute::algorithm" );

would not work unless the context node was the root.

Reopen if there still seems to be a problem.
