* Interface for a list of XML attributes.

* three different ways:
*
* 1.) by attribute index;
* 2.) by Namespace-qualified name; or
* 3.) by XML qualified name.
*
* 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
* http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes feature
* is set to true (it is false by default).
*
* The order of attributes in the list is unspecified.
