Summary: Losing attributes when cloning an element

Details: I ran into a bug with cloning non-namespace XML Elements with
attributes,
illustrated by the following testcase:

>>> from xml.dom.Document import Document
>>> dom=Document(None)
>>> dom.appendChild(dom.createElement('foo'))
<Element Node at 134866000: Name = 'foo' with 0 attributes and 0
children>
>>> dom.documentElement.setAttribute('name', 'bar')
>>> dom.documentElement.setAttribute('spam', 'eggs')
>>> clone=dom.documentElement.cloneNode(deep=0)
>>> clone
<Element Node at 135075928: Name = 'foo' with 1 attributes and 0
children>
>>> dom.documentElement
<Element Node at 134866000: Name = 'foo' with 2 attributes and 0
children>
>>> clone.attributes
<NamedNodeMap at 135078128: {('', ''): <Attribute Node at 135078696:
Name = "name", Value = "bar">}>
>>> dom.documentElement.attributes
<NamedNodeMap at 134865912: {'spam': <Attribute Node at 135060184: Name
= "spam", Value = "eggs">, 'name': <Attribute Node at 135066776: Name =
"name", Value = "bar">}>
