Yeah, that's the beauty of it :)

I agree with Björn when he says that it might be harder for some  
implementations to actually not support them, since text nodes inside  
Attr would have to be special-cased. I don't really care though, I  
doubt it'll affect even the weirdest cases.

Of course the right thing to do is to go back in time and prevent  
Attr from having children before it happens.
