+ * 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.
