Thanks Richard!

This is a feature request and I just committed an implementation to my
branch. I modified existing example to contain few attributes to show
how they are mapped:

http://github.com/dpp/liftweb/blob/joni_wip_xml/lift-json/src/test/scala/net/liftweb/json/XmlExamples.scala

If other committers give it the green light I will push it to master.

Cheers Joni
