/**
* The Element interface represents an element in an HTML or XML
* document. Elements may have attributes associated with them; since the
* Element interface inherits from Node, the
* generic Node interface attribute attributes may
* be used to retrieve the set of all attributes for an element. There are
* methods on the Element interface to retrieve either an
* Attr object by name or an attribute value by name. In XML,
* where an attribute value may contain entity references, an
* Attr object should be retrieved to examine the possibly
* fairly complex sub-tree representing the attribute value. On the other
* hand, in HTML, where all attributes have simple string values, methods to
* directly access an attribute value can safely be used as a convenience.
* Note: In DOM Level 2, the method normalize is
* inherited from the Node interface where it was moved.
*
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.
