Well, since I want genx to generate canonical XML, I'm going to have to 
sort the atttributes anyhow, and avoiding premature optimization, I'm 
just gonna collect 'em and do a qsort() and then do an O(N)*strcmp run 
through.  I can think of lots of clever ways to optimize this if it 
produces measurable overhead. -Tim
