/**

 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 document type definition.
  <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 null 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.
  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>nodeValue</code> attribute on the <code>Attr</code>
 instance can also be used to retrieve the string version of the
 attribute's value(s).
  In XML, where the value of an attribute can contain entity
 references, the child nodes of the <code>Attr</code> node provide
 a representation in which entity references are not expanded. These
 child nodes may be either <code>Text</code> or
 <code>EntityReference</code> nodes. Because the attribute type may be
 unknown, there are no tokenized attribute values.
 		@short    The <code>Attr</code> interface represents an attribute in an  <code>Element</code> object.
