Description

It is reasonably common to encounter xml like
<person>
<attribute id='name'>somename</attribute>
<attribute id='age'>99</attribute>
..
</person>

Currently there is no built-in rule to support this in Digester:
BeanPropertySetterRule supports <name>somename</name>
SetPropertyRule supports <attribute id='name' value='somename'/>.
SetPropertiesRule supports <attribute name='somename'/>
but nothing supports the first syntax listed above.
