Specification of the method
javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataNode.setAttribute says:

"If an attribute with that name is already present in
 the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter."

However, the implementation (JDK 1.4.0beta, build b64) of the method
seems to not replace the value of an existing attribute with the new
value.

This bug affects new JCK test:
api/javax_imageio/metadata/IIOMetadataNode/index.html#setAttribute

To reproduce the bug run the following test:

------------ test06.java ------------------------
import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataNode;

class test06 {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
        String attr = "attr";
        String value = "2001";
        String actValue;
    
        IIOMetadataNode parent = new IIOMetadataNode("parent");
        parent.setAttribute(attr, "string");
        parent.setAttribute(attr, value);
        
        actValue = parent.getAttribute(attr);
        if (! actValue.equals(value))
            System.out.println("Failed: invalid value: " + actValue);
        else
            System.out.println("Passed");
    }
}
