The `template' keyword is mandatory just after `->' when you
explicitly specify template arguments for a template member function,
in order to disambiguate.  If it is missing, the expression must be
parsed as:

(((*e).getNode()->getAttribute) < (myAttribute)) > ()

that is, `<' is taken as a less-than operator.
