/**
* Interface for a list of XML attributes.
*
* <blockquote>
* <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
* Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p>This interface allows access to a list of attributes in
* three different ways:</p>
*
* <ol>
* <li>by attribute index;</li>
* <li>by Namespace-qualified name; or</li>
* <li>by qualified (prefixed) name.</li>
* </ol>
*
* <p>The list will not contain attributes that were declared
* #IMPLIED but not specified in the start tag. It will also not
* contain attributes used as Namespace declarations (xmlns*) unless
* the <code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes</code>
* feature is set to <var>true</var> (it is <var>false</var> by
* default).</p>
*
* <p>If the namespace-prefixes feature (see above) is <var>false</var>,
* access by qualified name may not be available; if the
* <code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces</code>
* feature is <var>false</var>, access by Namespace-qualified names
* may not be available.</p>
*
* <p>This interface replaces the now-deprecated SAX1 {@link
* org.xml.sax.AttributeList AttributeList} interface, which does not
* contain Namespace support. In addition to Namespace support, it
* adds the <var>getIndex</var> methods (below).</p>
*
* <p>The order of attributes in the list is unspecified, and will
* vary from implementation to implementation.</p>
*
* @since SAX 2.0
* @author David Megginson,
* <a href="mailto:sax@megginson.com">sax@megginson.com</a>
* @version 2.0
* @see org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl
