Just for the record the regex you gave will have difficulty with the
following

<fred ref="other" id="12">

It will give the node name as 'fred ref="other"' because you are assuming
that the id attribute is the first attribute after the element name, which
may not be the case. Of course you can make the regex handle that too. But
then the regex becomes even less readable.
