XML::XSLT not recognizing attributes

The module XML::XSLT seems not to recognize attributes.

According to what I read about patterns[1], this bit of XSLT should set
the string "FUBAR" before each and every h3 element where the attribute
class contains the value "subtitle":

<xsl:template match='h3[@class="subtitle"]'>FUBAR
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

It doesn't seem to do that. However, it works without the attribute:

<xsl:template match='h3'>FUBAR
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

What am I missing or doing wrong? Or does the module not support that yet?

If you mail me and/or the xmlxslt-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net list
with some example XML, the stylesheet and the expected output we can
make a test for this with a view to getting it implemented properly.
