  Invocation of the getSpecified() method defined in interface org.w3c.dom.Attr
returns false when the Attr object has a value explicitly assigned in the document.
(See test.java below)
                                                  
  Definition in p. 1.2 "Fundamental Interfaces" of DOM Level 2 Core
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/PR-DOM-Level-2-Core-20000927/core.html#ID-637646024)
reads:
  " Attributes
         specified of type boolean, readonly
              If this attribute was explicitly given a value in the original document,
              this is true; otherwise, it is false. "

  This bug appears in the build jaxp-1.1ea2-b18-22_jan_2001 and affects the test in TCK JAXP 1.1

api/com/sun/xml/tests/dom/AttributeTest.html#positiveGetSpecifiedTrue

introduced in the TCK JAXP 1.0.1 .
