Bug description:SimpleXML drops attributes for tags with both attributes and text

Description:
------------
When loading XML into SimpleXML, tags which have both attributes and text
will have their attributes dropped.  

For example, loading this into SimpleXML: 
<sometag attribute="value">Here is some text</sometag>

Will cause 'attribute="value"' to be lost.  If there is no text w/in a tag,
but attributes, the attributes and their values are preserved. 

I'm not the only PHP developer to notice this bug; please see: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8563073/disappearing-attributes-in-php-simplexml-object

I didn't see this bug reported on php.net, however. 

Test script:
---------------
See above. 

Expected result:
----------------
Tags with both attributes and text should not have their attributes
dropped.
