   Thank you, it seems to work much better !

   There is still the problem that "node.has_attribute" does not return 
"nil" when I expect it should, but that is luatex problem (a check 
that a parameter is really an integer should be performed before calling 
lua_tointeger), so I will change mailing-list in order to report it.
