Summary: 1.2 bug comparing missing attributes

Initial Comment:
There is a bug when comparing 2 xml fragments where one has a missing attribute, the error is reported correctly, but the xpath for the attribute being compared is incorrect. The test below produces:

Expected number of element attributes '2' but was '1' - comparing <bar...> at /foo[1]/bar[1] to <bar...> at /foo[1]/bar[1]
Expected attribute name 'y' but was 'null' - comparing <bar...> at /foo[1]/bar[1]/@a to <bar...> at /foo[1]/bar[1]/@a

The second diff says it is comparing attribute "y", but the xpath indicates attribute "a". Either the attribute in the xpath should be "y", or the xpath should only indicate /foo[1]/bar[1]

		List allDifferences = myDDiff.getAllDifferences();
		for (Object diff : allDifferences) {
			System.err.println(diff);

		assertTrue(myDDiff.similar());

confirmed, I have a failing unit test in my working copy now, and it would
be in svn if sourceforge's svn let me.

Hope to have a fix soon.
