Pulling out XML attribute information in Scala

Question

I'm trying to iterate over all the attributes in a scala.xml.Elem and get the namespace, attribute name and value as a String. I've found it a bit hard going to be honest; is there a better way to do it than:

 elem.attributes map { md => (md.getNamespace(elem), md.key, md.value(0).text) }

I don't think there is a better way to do this. If you need to extract data from MetaData objects a lot, you could write your own extractor to get nicer syntax.

Fair enough! The above is not exactly verbose, of course, but it just seemed unnecessarily painful to discover. I have hopes for anti-xml, but they don't appear to have namespace support yet.
