The outline's not showing attribute nodes in the tree, it is instead 
including specific attribute names and values in the *label* for 
elements.  You're not missing any functionality by the sounds of it, 
but if you want Attr Nodes to be their own tree items, you'll have 
to extend or reuse the content provider in your own outline 
configuration class (subclassing the 
XMLContentOutlineConfiguration).  Then you can assign that outline 
configuration class to be used with your editor part ID or content 
type ID as the target:

	<extension point="org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration">
		<contentOutlineConfiguration
			class="MuneerContentOutlineConfiguration"
			target="muneer" />
	</extension>
