Hi,
Ive had a quick look and it seems to be a little bit broken. Look
at the following XML and DTD files
<!DOCTYPE greeting SYSTEM "foo.dtd"><greeting xmlns="foo" ls="ping" />
<!ELEMENT greeting EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST greeting
ls CDATA #IMPLIED
xmlns CDATA #IMPLIED
pointless (yes|no) 'yes'>
selecting the attributes from greeting now returns a null DOMNamedNodeMap.
If you remove the DOCTYPE from the XML you get the expected 2 attributes!
I don't currently have a completely clean tree so if someone could confirm
this then I would appreciate it. I have to go and get drunk now :)
