You're right that the JavaDoc is incorrect. I believe that method is
supposed to return the type of DTM node that is represented by that
expanded type ID: one of ATTRIBUTE_NODE, TEXT_NODE, ELEMENT_NODE, et al.
See
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xml/dtm/DTM.html#ATTRIBUTE_NODE
and related declarations.
Thanks,
Henry
