hello,

we've been using libxml2 on our project for a while now. for what we have been 
doing up until now we've only need to do xpath expressions with getting the 
contents after the object. i wanted to add getting attributes to our code and 
hit a question...

right now we call xmlXPathEvalExpression to evaluate a path and then call 
xmlNodeGetContent to get the contents. now when i went to look into adding 
attributes i figured there would be a xmlNodeGetAttribute or similar call and a 
xmlAttributeGetContents or similar call. however i don't seem to be able to 
find them. so i guess my questions are...

1. is there these functions (or similar) for attributes (and i am just blind)?
2. what is the difference between calling xmlNodeGetContent(node) and just 
accessing node->contents directly? especially if im just going to put it in a 
std::string?

thank you.
