Upon inspection, _ensure_attributes() is only called in _get_attributes(), setAttributeNode() and _set_attribute_node(). The last of these is only called by setAttributeNode(), and it would appear that setAttributeNode() is only called if there *are* attributes.

_get_attributes() is only called by writexml().

So, calls to public methods getAttribute(), getAttributeNS() and a few others are likely to fail because, if there are no attributes in the XML being processed, _ensure_attributes() wouldn't get called.

It looks like a bug to me! ;-)
