Description

dojo.data.api.Read.hasAttribute document describe as 'Returns true if the given *item* has a value for the given *attribute*.

But the name 'hasAttribute' can be easily misleading like 'Returns true if the given *item* has a given *attribute*'

Therefore the name should be change to hasAttributeValue or hasValue.

I don't understand, are you talking about an edge case where an item has an attribute with an undefined value, like in the JS world something like {foo: undefined} ?

The name stands. API changes would break existing users. Will not alter.
