I see a Node-attr test -- Node-attr.htm, .cgm, .png, .xml -- on the FTP
site.  However, looking at the HTML, I see it only tests the methods
and attributes of the WebCGMNode interface, for nodeType 5.  (See
code early on, "if (a.nodeType == 5)..."

The WebCGMAttr interface (derives from WebCGMNode of course) only adds
these three attributes: 
name (RO), value (RW), ownerNode (RO).  

So perhaps you could modify Node-attr to make a simple example/test, and
we could then indeed check to see who has implemented the
interface.   'ownerNode', for example, is unique functionality
to WebCGMAttr (while name and value are accessible through both
interfaces).
