Interface AttributeContainer


public interface AttributeContainer
Interface that is used to allow validators to do attribute defaulting. That is, to allow specific post-processing for elements, such that after all attribute values that an xml element has have been processed, it is possible to add new attribute/value pairs in cases where attribute only has a default value in DTD or W3C Schema.
