A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Calling adoptNode will not migrate attribute values correctly. Instead, you get attribute names of the new node, but with attribute values of the old node.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create two documents. Adopt a node from doc2 into doc1. Print doc1. Observe that attribute values are not correctly moved. See code example.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
