extends NodeImpl
implements Attr, TypeInfo
```
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AttrImpl does not support Namespaces. AttrNSImpl, which inherits from it, does.
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 create 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.
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...
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 few 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.
This class doesn't directly support mutation events, however, it notifies the document when mutations are performed so that the document class do so.
WARNING: Some of the code here is partially duplicated in ParentNode, be careful to keep these two classes in sync!

  - cloneNode
```
public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)
```
    Description copied from class: NodeImpl
    
    Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.
    Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here, ParentNode overrides this behavior.
    
    Specified by:
    
    cloneNode in interface Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    cloneNode in class NodeImpl
    
    See Also:
    
    Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains. Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name.
    NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.
  - getNodeType
```
public short getNodeType()
```
    A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.

  - setNodeValue
```
public void setNodeValue(String value)
                  throws DOMException
```
    Sets the node value. Implicit in the rerouting of getNodeValue to getValue is the need to redefine setNodeValue, for symmetry's sake. Note that since we're explicitly providing a value, Specified should be set true.... even if that value equals the default.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setNodeValue in interface Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    setNodeValue in class NodeImpl

```
public String getName()
```
    In Attributes, NodeName is considered a synonym for the attribute's Name
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface Attr
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(String newvalue)
```
    The DOM doesn't clearly define what setValue(null) means. I've taken it as "remove all children", which from outside should appear similar to setting it to the empty string.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setValue in interface Attr
  - getValue
```
public String getValue()
```
    The "string value" of an Attribute is its text representation, which in turn is a concatenation of the string values of its children.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface Attr
  - getSpecified
```
public boolean getSpecified()
```
    The "specified" flag is true if and only if this attribute's value was explicitly specified in the original document. Note that the implementation, not the user, is in charge of this property. If the user asserts an Attribute value (even if it ends up having the same value as the default), it is considered a specified attribute. If you really want to revert to the default, delete the attribute from the Element, and the Implementation will re-assert the default (if any) in its place, with the appropriate specified=false setting.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSpecified in interface Attr
  - getOwnerElement
```
public Element getOwnerElement()
```
    Returns the element node that this attribute is associated with, or null if the attribute has not been added to an element.

    getOwnerElement in interface Attr

    Test whether this node has any children. Convenience shorthand for (Node.getFirstChild()!=null)
    By default we do not have any children, ParentNode overrides this. Test whether this node has any children. Convenience shorthand for (Node.getFirstChild()!=null)

  - getChildNodes
```
public NodeList getChildNodes()
```
    Obtain a NodeList enumerating all children of this node. If there are none, an (initially) empty NodeList is returned.
    NodeLists are "live"; as children are added/removed the NodeList will immediately reflect those changes. Also, the NodeList refers to the actual nodes, so changes to those nodes made via the DOM tree will be reflected in the NodeList and vice versa.
    In this implementation, Nodes implement the NodeList interface and provide their own getChildNodes() support. Other DOMs may solve this differently. Obtain a NodeList enumerating all children of this node. If there are none, an (initially) empty NodeList is returned.

```
    Move one or more node(s) to our list of children. Note that this implicitly removes them from their previous parent.
    By default we do not accept any children, ParentNode overrides this. Move one or more node(s) to our list of children. Note that this implicitly removes them from their previous parent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    insertBefore in interface Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    insertBefore in class NodeImpl
    
    Parameters:
    
    newChild - The Node to be moved to our subtree. As a convenience feature, inserting a DocumentNode will instead insert all its children.
    
    refChild - Current child which newChild should be placed immediately before. If refChild is null, the insertion occurs after all existing Nodes, like appendChild().
    
    Returns:
    
    newChild, in its new state (relocated, or emptied in the case of DocumentNode.)
    
    Throws:
    
    DOMException - HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR if newChild is of a type that shouldn't be a child of this node, or if newChild is an ancestor of this node.
    
    DOMException - WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR if newChild has a different owner document than we do.
    
    DOMException - NOT_FOUND_ERR if refChild is not a child of this node.
    
    DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR if this node is read-only.

```
public Node removeChild(Node oldChild)

                  throws DOMException
```
    Make newChild occupy the location that oldChild used to have. Note that newChild will first be removed from its previous parent, if any. Equivalent to inserting newChild before oldChild, then removing oldChild.
