like this: boolean Attribute::getSpecified () Returns true if the attribute received its value explicitly in the XML document, or if a value was assigned programatically with the setValue function.
Returns false if the attribute value came from the default value declared in the document's DTD. Any such stuff around? I couldn't find it in the Java Doc.
