Summary: find() returned Nodes in 0.5.x, Attrs in 0.8.3 with this expression

Initial Comment:
With this expression:

doc.find("/TEI.2/text/body//div1[@type!='header']/@id")

0.5.4 returned Nodes, while 0.8.3 returns Attrs. Is this an intentional change? I was calling content() on each item, which now blows up because they are Attrs, not Nodes.

Hi Jamie,

Yes, a new attribute object was introduced to model libxml attributes (which are slightly different than nodes).

Sorry that this caused you a problem.

Charlie
