Well, I do know if

ConfigurationProperties.getStripDefaultAttributes() is false then the
fieldOfView= attribute will get printed.

I'm pretty sure that getFieldOfViewList().equals(FIELDOFVIEW_DEFAULT_VALUE)
is true if getFieldOfViewList() is true if non-defaulted.and the opposition
is false.

So it must be returning false, the length is <= 0, or hasUSE() is false.

I suggest logging values, but that's just the GHD (Got Here Debuger).

If you're blocked by using the debugger, it works in a pinch.

I guess I'll pull up NetBeans.  Not really anything better to do
currently.  Oh, yeah.  The dishes.
