/**
 * Attribute represents an XML-style attribute of an
 * Element. Typically, the allowable values are controlled by its
 * declaration in the Document Type Definition (DTD) governing this
 * kind of document.
 * <P>
 * If the attribute has not been explicitly assigned a value, but has
 * been declared in the DTD, it will exist and have that default. Only
 * if neither the document nor the DTD specifies a value will the
 * Attribute really be considered absent and have no value; in that
 * case, querying the attribute will return null.
 * <P>
 * Attributes may have multiple children that contain their data. (XML
 * allows attributes to contain entity references, and tokenized
 * attribute types such as NMTOKENS may have a child for each token.)
 * For convenience, the Attribute object's getValue() method returns
 * the string version of the attribute's value.
 * <P>
 * Attributes are not children of the Elements they belong to, in the
 * usual sense, and have no valid Parent reference. However, the spec
 * says they _do_ belong to a specific Element, and an INUSE exception
 * is to be thrown if the user attempts to explicitly share them
 * between elements.
 * <P>
 * Note that Elements do not permit attributes to appear to be shared
 * (see the INUSE exception), so this object's mutability is
 * officially not an issue.
 * <p>
 * Note: The ownerNode attribute is used to store the Element the Attr
 * node is associated with. Attr nodes do not have parent nodes.
 * Besides, the getOwnerElement() method can be used to get the element node
 * this attribute is associated with.
 * <P>
 * AttrImpl does not support Namespaces. AttrNSImpl, which inherits from
 * it, does.
 *
 * <p>AttrImpl used to inherit from ParentNode. It now directly inherits from
 * NodeImpl and provide its own implementation of the ParentNode's behavior.
 * The reason is that we now try and avoid to always creating a Text node to
 * hold the value of an attribute. The DOM spec requires it, so we still have
 * to do it in case getFirstChild() is called for instance. The reason
 * attribute values are stored as a list of nodes is so that they can carry
 * more than a simple string. They can also contain EntityReference nodes.
 * However, most of the times people only have a single string that they only
 * set and get through Element.set/getAttribute or Attr.set/getValue. In this
 * new version, the Attr node has a value pointer which can either be the
 * String directly or a pointer to the first ChildNode. A flag tells which one
 * it currently is. Note that while we try to stick with the direct String as
 * much as possible once we've switched to a node there is no going back. This
 * is because we have no way to know whether the application keeps referring to
 * the node we once returned.
 * <p> The gain in memory varies on the density of attributes in the document.
 * But in the tests I've run I've seen up to 12% of memory gain. And the good
 * thing is that it also leads to a slight gain in speed because we allocate
 * fewer objects! I mean, that's until we have to actually create the node...
 * <p>
 * To avoid too much duplicated code, I got rid of ParentNode and renamed
 * ChildAndParentNode, which I never really liked, to ParentNode for
 * simplicity, this doesn't make much of a difference in memory usage because
 * there are only very objects that are only a Parent. This is only true now
 * because AttrImpl now inherits directly from NodeImpl and has its own
 * implementation of the ParentNode's node behavior. So there is still some
 * duplicated code there.
 *
 * <p><b>WARNING</b>: Some of the code here is partially duplicated in
 * ParentNode, be careful to keep these two classes in sync!
