/**
 * RFC 5652:
 * Attribute is a pair of OID (as type identifier) + set of values.
 * 
 * 
 * Attribute ::= SEQUENCE {
 *     attrType OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
 *     attrValues SET OF AttributeValue
 * }
 * 
 * AttributeValue ::= ANY
 * 
 * 
 * General rule on values is that same AttributeValue must not be included
 * multiple times into the set. That is, if the value is a SET OF INTEGERs,
 * then having same value repeated is wrong: (1, 1), but different values is OK: (1, 2).
 * Normally the AttributeValue syntaxes are more complicated than that.
 * 

 * General rule of Attribute usage is that the {@link Attributes} containers
 * must not have multiple Attribute:s with same attrType (OID) there.
