[jdom-interest] parsing adds attributes

Hi All,

Sorry to have another question. This time I did look at the FAQ (both of
JDOM and of Xerces). I've got a question that may be more related tot
Xercers/SAX than JDOM, but I hope you can help me with it.
As soon as I parse an XML document using the apache xalan parser with
the SAX API, elements that do not have attributes automatically get the
attribute type with the value simple. I don't want this. Any idea why
this happens and how I can prevent it from happening?

Code example:
builder=SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser")
handelaar=myErrorHandler()
builder.setErrorHandler(handelaar)
builder.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",1)
builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",1)
doc=builder.build(sys.argv[1])
nsgml=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/gml")
nsows=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/ows1.2")
print doc.getRootElement().getChild("featureMember",nsgml).getAttributes()


This outputs:
[[Attribute: type="simple"]]
