[XML-SIG] Is this a bug?

Suppose I have an element node:

(Pdb) p node
<Element Node at 868b6cc: Name='xref' with 1 attributes and 1 children>
(Pdb) p node.attributes
<NamedNodeMap at 868bc04: {(None, u'linkend'): <Attribute Node at 868bed4: Name="linkend", Value="Class:Scientific.BSP.ParValue">}>

According to my understanding of the manual, I should be able to get the
value of the attribute in the following way:

(Pdb) p node.getAttribute(u'linkend')
''

What does work is the following:

(Pdb) node.getAttributeNS(None, u'linkend')
u'Class:Scientific.BSP.ParValue'

Isn't that a bug? I am using the 4DOM implementation from PyXML 0.6.6.

Konrad.
