/**
* 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
