cloneNode bug in CoreDocumentImpl.java ?

Version: xerces-J 2.1.0

When I clone a document that has elements with default attributes from a
schema, the default attributes are not copied. But the
org.w3c.dom.Document.cloneNode method specification mentions this:

    "Note: When Elements are cloned, all attribute nodes are
                cloned, including those generated by the XML processor
                to represent defaulted attributes".

Is this a bug in the implementation?

The implementation of cloneNode eventually leads to this code:
    ...
    // Copy the attribute only if it is not a default.
    if (attr.getSpecified()) {
      ... // cloning of attributes here

This is in org.apache.xerces.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.java, at line 1531. This
seems to be the opposite to what the spec says.

Am I misinterpreting the spec?
