/**
 * SAX2 extension to augment the per-attribute information
 * provided though {@link Attributes}.
 * If an implementation supports this extension, the attributes
 * provided in {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#startElement
 * ContentHandler.startElement() } will implement this interface,
 * and the http://xml.org/sax/features/use-attributes2
 * feature flag will have the value true.
 *
 * 
 * This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
 * Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY.
 * 
 *
 *  XMLReader implementations are not required to support this
 * information, and it is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.
 *
 * Note that if an attribute was defaulted (!isSpecified())
 * it will of necessity also have been declared (isDeclared())
 * in the DTD.
 * Similarly if an attribute's type is anything except CDATA, then it
 * must have been declared.
 * 
 *
 * @since SAX 2.0 (extensions 1.1 alpha)
