In order to be able to use attributes on xml-nodes freely, the following 
situations can arise:

The foregroundcolor parameter gets a value:
<node color="red"> correctly sets ..[foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}] color 
to red.

However, in the next case the current foregroundcolor should be left as is, but 
reverts to black:
<node> ..[foregroundcolor=] and is apparently reset to the general default.

trying the following seemed the solution, but it does not work:
..[\doifnot{\xmlatt{#1}{color}}{\empty}{foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}}]
giving in the log:
{foregroundcolor=orange}' in line 16 (249>:)
check  > missing or ungrouped '=' after '\doifnot {}{}

Putting the above \doif inside an \expanded{} does not alter the behaviour.

How to accomplish leaving the parameter as is for an absent attribute?
