Looking at the JavaDoc for ContentHandler.startElement() [1] (which is inherited
by DOMBuilder), it states under the parameter section:

"atts - The attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it
shall be an empty Attributes object."

So if there are no attributes, we should get an empty attributes object, and not
null. Thus I don't think the check for null is necessary.
