/**
  * Interface for an element's attribute specifications.
  *
  * The SAX2 parser implements this interface and passes an instance
  * to the SAX2 application as the last argument of each startElement
  * event.
  *
  * The instance provided will return valid results only during the
  * scope of the startElement invocation (to save it for future
  * use, the application must make a copy: the AttributesImpl
  * helper class provides a convenient constructor for doing so).
  *
  * An Attributes includes only attributes that have been
  * specified or defaulted: #IMPLIED attributes will not be included.
  *
  * There are two ways for the SAX application to obtain information
  * from the Attributes.  First, it can iterate through the entire
  * list:
  *
  * <code>
  * public void startElement (String uri, String localpart, String qName, Attributes atts) {<br>
  * &nbsp;for (int i = 0; i < atts.getLength(); i++) {<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;String Qname = atts.getQName(i);<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;String URI   = atts.getURI(i)<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;String local = atts.GetLocalName(i)<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;String type  = atts.getType(i);<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;String value = atts.getValue(i);<br>
  * &nbsp;&nbsp;[...]<br>
  * &nbsp;}<br>
  * }
  * </code>
  *
  * (Note that the result of getLength() will be zero if there
  * are no attributes.)
  *
  * As an alternative, the application can request the value or
  * type of specific attributes:
  *
  * <code>
  * public void startElement (String uri, String localpart, String qName, Attributes atts) {<br>
  * &nbsp;String identifier = atts.getValue("id");<br>
  * &nbsp;String label = atts.getValue("label");<br>
  * &nbsp;[...]<br>
  * }
  * </code>
  *
  * The AttributesImpl helper class provides a convenience
  * implementation for use by parser or application writers.
  *
  * @see Sax2DocumentHandler#startElement
  * @see AttributesImpl#AttributesImpl
