repeat with anItem in theList
set newNode to (current application's NSXMLNode's elementWithName:"entry" stringValue:anItem)
(listElement's addChild:newNode)
end repeat
return listElement's XMLString() as text

elementWithName is a class method, that's the reason why it must apply to the NSXMLNode class

and by doing that I create an instance of the class that is listElement to which I should be able to apply instance methods...

so, when I use addChild on listElement, it works because addChild is an instance method.

Now, what if I want to add an attribute and it's string value to an element?

addAttribute is an instance method so it should work on newNode but that does not seem to be the case...

I'm kind of lost here.
