And now it has become
<tag stuff="foo">
</tag>
again...

I'm not commiting anymore to reader till I finish and add the test cases, but
keep bug reports coming, it really helps ;)

It's stupid for XmlDocument not too... it would be like pumping air into a
tire at the tire plant and then deflating it for delivery if we used Read.
XmlDocument has its own attributeCollection in each element it builds so why
would it need to cruise across memory when it could just do it right the
first time.

hrmm... got a test case? and some examples from different platforms...

We'll do our best to be upto par soon, and then we will make it better.
I plan on finishing up all the TODO's in XmlTextReader once the testcases are
in.

We're only going so far to have the same output to all specs, not only mono.
Clean is not my middle name, but I've already begun to remove the garbage.
