Saner behavior for xml-get-attribute


From: Mark A. Hershberger
Subject: Saner behavior for xml-get-attribute
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2004 09:26:44 -0600
User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) Emacs/22.0.0 (gnu/linux)

Some months ago, this patch was submitted.  It didn't get applied
because, I suspect, Savannah was having trouble at the time.

This patch creates a saner alternative to the current
xml-get-attribute.  Currently, if an attribute doesn't exist,
xml-get-attribute returns "" -- making it impossible to tell the
difference between a non-existent attribute and an empty attribute.
