Yes, because attribute nodes can only be attached to an element.

You are putting out a document and you are trying to add just the attribute.

I posted code that was working, and you'll see that I used the 
string() function in order to add a string to the document node, not 
the attribute itself.

Notice above how I'm adding the values of the attributes, not the 
attributes themselves to the result.

I hope this helps.
