It seems like both of these work

$("div[id='person']").show();
$("div[@id='person']").show();

which one should we advocate in the docs?

Hi David,

The [@attribute] syntax (XPath) is deprecated in 1.2. It still works, but it shouldn't be promoted. We should instead urge people to use the [attribute] syntax (CSS).
