class XML_API Attr: public AbstractNode
	/// The Attr interface represents an attribute in an Element object. Typically
	/// the allowable values for the attribute are defined in a document type definition.
	/// 
	/// Attr objects inherit the Node 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 Node attributes parentNode, previousSibling,
	/// and nextSibling have a null value for Attr 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, Attr nodes may not be immediate
	/// children of a DocumentFragment. However, they can be associated with Element
	/// nodes contained within a DocumentFragment. In short, users and implementors
	/// of the DOM need to be aware that Attr nodes have some things in common with
	/// other objects inheriting the Node 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
	/// nodeValue attribute on the Attr 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 Attr node provide a representation in which entity references
	/// are not expanded. These child nodes may be either Text or EntityReference
	/// nodes. Because the attribute type may be unknown, there are no tokenized
	/// attribute values.

	bool specified() const;
		/// If this attribute was explicitly given a value in the original document,
		/// this is true; otherwise, it is false. Note that the implementation is in
		/// charge of this attribute, not the user. If the user changes the value of
		/// the attribute (even if it ends up having the same value as the default value)
		/// then the specified flag is automatically flipped to true. To re-specify
		/// the attribute as the default value from the DTD, the user must delete the
		/// attribute. The implementation will then make a new attribute available with
		/// specified set to false and the default value (if one exists).
		/// In summary:
		/// 
		///     * If the attribute has an assigned value in the document then specified
		///       is true, and the value is the assigned value.
		///     * If the attribute has no assigned value in the document and has a default
		///       value in the DTD, then specified is false, and the value is the default
		///       value in the DTD.
		///     * If the attribute has no assigned value in the document and has a value
		///       of #IMPLIED in the DTD, then the attribute does not appear in the structure
		///       model of the document.
		///     * If the attribute is not associated to any element (i.e. because it
		///       was just created or was obtained from some removal or cloning operation)
		///       specified is true.
