We need this only TEMPORARY, while [1] is being fixed. Currently the runtime does not support types for XML attributes -- they are all treated as strings. So we need to add a warning whenever a user tries to use an attribute in a non-string context (e.g. see the project attached to [1]). Setting it to be a high priority, since the issue is quite user-visible, confusing and "non-explainable" w/o debugging the runtime. :( [1] https://open-jbi-components.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=699
