Description nnissar 2004-03-31 12:12:18 UTC 
In Level 3 LS test suite, DOMWriterFilterTest2 incorrectly expects that the 
text node child of an attribute node should have been stripped of its value as 
a result of the LSSerializerFilter rejecting all text nodes.  However, PR 
version of LS spec states that "..children of Attr nodes are not passed to the 
filter." [1] and so this text node child of an attribute node will not be seen 
by the filter, and therefore will not be rejected for serialization. So upon 
parsing the serialized output, the attribute child's nodeValue should be that 
of 'attr1' rather than "".
