Hi Martin, I appreciate your effort, but alas that's not what I meant. This is not about attributes of an XML node but about JavaScript properties of a DOM node object. In my understanding, XML attributes, which are accessed and set using the set/getAttributeNS() methods, are totally independent from the JavaScript properties, which are accessed and set using the dot notation and usual JavaScript assignment.
I'm not a JavaScript expert. I learned that JavaScript objects can be dynamically extended and modified, and I am surprised Batik makes an exception for node objects. Aren't node objects just usual objects? At least typeof returns the type "object".
