Subject: Fixed equality and string representation of xml attributes with null
 value

Prior to this patch <t a={ null: String }/> was not equal to <t/> and
it's string representation was "<t ></t>" instead of "<t></t>"

This includes changing MetaData.normalize() so that it doesn't reverse
the chain. On the downside, the iterate function in MetaData.normalize()
is not tail-recursive now.
