[Feature] Allow Node elements to be used as AttributeValue

[mandalornl]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch [email protected] for the project I'm working on.

I needed to add some Node elements with specific attributes as AttributeValue in order to create a certain assertion and the current version only allows for textContent to be used. Here is the diff that solved my problem:

           valueElement.setAttribute('xsi:type', options.typedAttributes ? getAttributeType(value) : 'xs:anyType');
-          valueElement.textContent = value;
+          if ('nodeType' in Object(value)) {

+          } else {
+            valueElement.textContent = value;
+          }
           attributeElement.appendChild(valueElement);
         }
       });
