Well I'd not have any problems with that if we'd do this in the xml2argv
test where we do have more interresting code paths to validate.

In the XML2XML test alone I don't think it really makes much sense at
all. At any rate I'll do it separately together with adding a xml2argv
test since without it it does not make much sense.

IIRC the attribute is the old way nad the element is the new way. Even
the filename is duplicated.
