You are correct. The goal is to hide attributes that are sort of
"internal" to the cluster or resource agents, and just show attributes
set by the user.

It does make sense to include all attributes in XML output since that is
intended for automated parsing. It should be fairly easy to move the
filtering from create_attr_list() to print_node_attribute().
