I have looked into this; and it looks like a very simple change for me
to make.

However, I am a little puzzled how the generated parser was letting this
through before my changes.  There is code in flexml.pl (lines 1680,
1687, 1695) that to me seems to prohibit refering to attributes inside
the end-tag processing code:

  die "\"$ACTIONS\", line $lineno: Attributes only allowed in
    start tag.\n"
  if not $isstart;

Had you disabled this code somehow, or was there some case that was
being missed, in the code around lines 1677-1702?

Thanks,

Will
