+/**
+ * The <code>Attr</code> interface represents an attribute in an
+ * <code>Element</code> object. Typically the allowable values for the
+ * attribute are defined in a schema associated with the document.
+ * <p><code>Attr</code> objects inherit the <code>Node</code> interface, but
+ * since they are not actually child nodes of the element they describe, the
+ * DOM does not consider them part of the document tree. Thus, the
+ * <code>Node</code> attributes <code>parentNode</code>,
+ * <code>previousSibling</code>, and <code>nextSibling</code> have a
+ * <code>null</code> value for <code>Attr</code> objects. The DOM takes the
+ * view that attributes are properties of elements rather than having a
+ * separate identity from the elements they are associated with; this should
+ * make it more efficient to implement such features as default attributes
+ * associated with all elements of a given type. Furthermore,
+ * <code>Attr</code> nodes may not be immediate children of a
+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code>. However, they can be associated with
+ * <code>Element</code> nodes contained within a
+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code>. In short, users and implementors of the
+ * DOM need to be aware that <code>Attr</code> nodes have some things in
+ * common with other objects inheriting the <code>Node</code> interface, but
+ * they also are quite distinct.
+ * <p>The attribute's effective value is determined as follows: if this
+ * attribute has been explicitly assigned any value, that value is the
+ * attribute's effective value; otherwise, if there is a declaration for
+ * this attribute, and that declaration includes a default value, then that
+ * default value is the attribute's effective value; otherwise, the
+ * attribute does not exist on this element in the structure model until it
+ * has been explicitly added. Note that the <code>Node.nodeValue</code>
+ * attribute on the <code>Attr</code> instance can also be used to retrieve
+ * the string version of the attribute's value(s).
+ * <p> If the attribute was not explicitly given a value in the instance
+ * document but has a default value provided by the schema associated with
+ * the document, an attribute node will be created with
+ * <code>specified</code> set to <code>false</code>. Removing attribute
+ * nodes for which a default value is defined in the schema generates a new
+ * attribute node with the default value and <code>specified</code> set to
+ * <code>false</code>. If validation occurred while invoking
+ * <code>Document.normalizeDocument()</code>, attribute nodes with
+ * <code>specified</code> equals to <code>false</code> are recomputed
+ * according to the default attribute values provided by the schema. If no
+ * default value is associate with this attribute in the schema, the
+ * attribute node is discarded.
+ * <p>In XML, where the value of an attribute can contain entity references,
+ * the child nodes of the <code>Attr</code> node may be either
+ * <code>Text</code> or <code>EntityReference</code> nodes (when these are
+ * in use; see the description of <code>EntityReference</code> for
+ * discussion).
+ * <p>The DOM Core represents all attribute values as simple strings, even if
+ * the DTD or schema associated with the document declares them of some
+ * specific type such as tokenized.
+ * <p>The way attribute value normalization is performed by the DOM
+ * implementation depends on how much the implementation knows about the
+ * schema in use. Typically, the <code>value</code> and
+ * <code>nodeValue</code> attributes of an <code>Attr</code> node initially
+ * returns the normalized value given by the parser. It is also the case
+ * after <code>Document.normalizeDocument()</code> is called (assuming the
+ * right options have been set). But this may not be the case after
+ * mutation, independently of whether the mutation is performed by setting
+ * the string value directly or by changing the <code>Attr</code> child
+ * nodes. In particular, this is true when <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#dt-charref'>character
+ * references</a> are involved, given that they are not represented in the DOM and they
+ * impact attribute value normalization. On the other hand, if the
+ * implementation knows about the schema in use when the attribute value is
+ * changed, and it is of a different type than CDATA, it may normalize it
+ * again at that time. This is especially true of specialized DOM
+ * implementations, such as SVG DOM implementations, which store attribute
+ * values in an internal form different from a string.
+ * <p>The following table gives some examples of the relations between the
+ * attribute value in the original document (parsed attribute), the value as
+ * exposed in the DOM, and the serialization of the value:
