Looks like compiler looks for Node, Name and Attr in Node struct, 
because of eponymous thing.
This code works though:

template N(String)
{
	struct Node {}
	struct Name {}
	struct Attr {}
	
}

void main()
{
	alias MyNode = N!(string).Node;
	alias MyName = N!(string).Name;
	alias MyAttr = N!(string).Attr;
	
}
