... or a characters() event containing non-whitespace.
Whitespace characters() between an element an jx:attribute should not be output at all.

After a longer thinking it really does not look so easy. As it is not known if
an element has dynamic attributes or not the start element on the output would
have to be postponed for EVERY elemeny till we reach startElement for a child
node a endElement for current one.

Still I do not see any efficiency issuses here: only one element has to be
cached so it does not impart neither speed nor memory requirements.

It looks like you have to buffer  until you reach another startElement or
get a endElement for .Am I missing sth?

My question is: Is there any real reason that jx:attribute is not implemented?
Something that would work as xsl:attribute or xsp:attribute to allow
generation of dynamic content of an attribute?

Please direct all questions to the dev list. The only reason is that it 
seems hard to implement it efficiently. Consider:


 http://www.bar.org"; value="${bar}"/>
 
  
  
  
  
  
  ...

The start element event for  must be buffered until all potential 
jx:attribute tags have been processed. Since these are within 
conditional blocks and loops determining when that is the case in an 
efficient way isn't easy.
