Use bracket access instead of attributes() for xsi type retreival

[tfs]

Hi,

i've recently upgraded from my custom modified FlexXB version (
http://groups.google.com/group/flexxb/browse_thread/thread/72043bb87b45c8ad/15bd5c1bad82ce4b?lnk=gst#15bd5c1bad82ce4b
) to the latest release, and noticed that some of my files wouldn't
deserialize correctly anymore. After some trial and error i've found
out that the problem is caused by an additional attribute named "type"
on a node which also contains an "xsi:type" attribute.

The attributes() method which is currently used (
http://www.google.com/codesearch#leyGIisSjfA/trunk/FlexXB/FlexXB/src/main/flex/com/googlecode/flexxb/xml/XmlDescriptionContext.as&q=xsitype%20package:http://flexxb\.googlecode\.com&l=136
) returns the non-prefixed "type" attribute too (not sure whether this
is the correct behaviour), resulting in "type" and "xsi:type" being
concatenated, while bracket access returns only the "xsi:type"
attribute. Example:

------------------
var document:XML =
<root>
<foo type="Something" xsi:type="SomeOtherThing" xmlns:xsi="http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</foo>
</root>;


var xsiNamespace:Namespace = new Namespace("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/
2001/XMLSchema-instance");
var xsiType:QName = new QName(xsiNamespace, "type");

trace(document.foo.attribute(xsiType));
trace(document.foo.@[xsiType]);
------------------

You should see that attributes() returns "SomethingSomeOtherThing" and
bracket access "SomeOtherThing".

Thanks... and you've probably noticed it, i've mixed up attributes()
and attribute(), ofcourse i always ment attribute().
