OK so I'm completely lost as I don't understand what you expect.

  <person>{$thing/@name}</person>

simply copies an attribute node from wherever it is to the newly 
constructed <person> element. Atomization is just not relevant, the node 
is already an attribute node (with a value that is atomic) the node is 
just copied to the tree being generated.
