/**
 *  The Attributes interface is essentially a version of the
 * org.xml.sax.Attributes interface modified to use the JAX-WS QName class.
 *
 *  Although namespace declarations can appear in the attribute list, the
 * actual values of the local name and URI properties are
 * implementation-specific. 
 *
 *  Applications that need to iterate through all the attributes can use the
 * {@link #isNamespaceDeclaration} method to identify namespace declarations
 * and skip them. 
 *
 *  Also, the URI property of an attribute will never be null. The value
 * "" (empty string) is used for the URI of non-qualified attributes.
