libxml2 doesn't quite work like that.

Once you called xmlTextReaderRead [optionally check that
xmlTextReaderNodeType() == 1, a.k.a. element ], you should call
xmlTextReaderMoveToFirstAttribute, then
xmlTextReaderMoveToNextAttribute. This would iterate through all the
attributes.
At the end you should call xmlTextReaderMoveToElement(), and then you
can resume calling xmlTextReaderRead()

Disclaimer: it's been half a year since I've used libxml2; it was in
my previous job.
