gistfile1.txt

Here's the doc, in text form, before parsing:
<test><element1 attrib1="hello" attrib2="world"/><element2 attrib1="goodbye" attrib2="universe">with content</element2><element3 what="is it"><foo/></element3></test>
Setting attrib1 to hello
Setting attrib2 to world
Now, here's the doc, after being parsed into an object.
<?xml version="1.0"?><test><element1 attrib1="hello" attrib2="world"/><element2>with content</element2><element3><foo/></element3></test>
Now, what happened to the attributes for the element with contents?
