I did the test... and my memory proved wrong.
The following C# code does work with or without MoveToElement:

        string s = "<test><e1 a1='a1' a2='a2'/><e2/></test>";
        XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StringReader(s));
        while(reader.Read())
        {
                Console.WriteLine(reader.Name);
                if (reader.HasAttributes)
                {
                        while(reader.MoveToNextAttribute())
                        {
                                Console.WriteLine(" {0}={1}", reader.Name, reader.Value);
                        }
                        //reader.MoveToElement();
                }
        }

So yes, after moving to the last attribute,
the next Read should move to the next node.
Sorry for the confusion.
