I know that the fn:node() function does not select attributes but I cannot find any definitive reference to that.

There is no such function. node() is a node-test. It matches every node. But if you use it as an axis step with the child axis, the axis step only selects nodes on the child axis; and child is the default axis if you don't specify an axis.

I read:

child::node() selects all the children of the context node, whatever their node type


But no reference to excluding attribute nodes.

Any suggestions ?
