> Why shouldn't an attribute node have a child text node?

The usual rule I apply when doing object modelling is that if two objects
have a strictly one-to-one relationship then they are usually best modelled
as a single object.

In the DOM the reason that attribute nodes have text node children is that
they can also have children that are entity-references.
