Good question, but I don't think so, Im not sure it's good to let the null
value from the attribute be equal to a test inside the interpreter ...
or in other words I have not seen something like this in XML being a value
interpretation of something that internal ... although its just a matter
of the spec stating that either a NULL value attribute or an empty value
is equal to an undefined predicate value.
<p>Also I think that if you leave a condition open (like <condition
name="color">) an interpreter might expect a list to follow ...
