Node.hasAttributes() returns false always - with xalan
 - this works properly with xsltc .

To reproduce the problem -

set JAVA_HOME to jdk1.4.2
set ANT_HOME
setenv PATH .:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH

and in the attached build.xml change "JAXP_JARS" property
to point to latest jaxp jars

also set system property in build.xml to run against xalan or xsltc .

<sysproperty key="javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory" value="org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
<!--sysproperty key="javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory" value="org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl"/-->


 - shows error with both jaxp1.2.6 jars(b02 nightly - july22) and jaxp 1.3 jars(b23 nightly - july 22)

Actually the issue is in transformer part , even though subcategory is marked dom
