  Well, right this looks strange but text node and attribute-values must have
different serialization routines anyway (line-feed need to be escaped as
character reference for example).

  Well, how is that really a problem ? The serialization is different, 
but have to be different anyway. I don't see why this would be not
compliant or a problem for DOM implementation.
