Research direction
Start by locating Python's minidom implementation and the NamedNodeMap attribute-iteration entry point; the issue does not name files or tests. Determine how the supported iteration becomes O(n^2), then validate that the revised behavior avoids that complexity with appropriate minidom coverage or performance checks.
