[OpenLayers-Dev] GML parser and attribute nodes

[bartvde at osgis.nl]

Typo in my post, the last one should be _geometry, so:

                    if(node.childNodes.length == 1 &&
node.firstChild.nodeType == 3) {
                        if(this.extractAttributes) {
                            name = "_attribute";
                        }
                    } else if (node.childNodes.length == 0) {
                        name = "_attribute";
                    } else {
                        name = "_geometry";
                    }
