I've read the thread, but the last NPE stack trace that I notice is the
one that happens at InsertTag:367. At that line currently there is no
code (a curly closing bracket only!) so I think it is only a problem of
caching...

Anyway the "type" attribute should not be required: it is useful only to
distinguish between "definition" and "attribute" in the case that we
have a definition and an attribute with the same name, giving precedence
to "definition" if it is not specified. Am I correct?
