Description:

XML elements may have name-value pairs called attributes associated with them. This class instantiates an XML attribute.

Instance Variables:
	name    <XML.Node | XML.NodeTag>        tag name
	value   <Object>                                        tag value

Class protocol:

 name: nm value: val

Instance protocol:

 characterData

 characterDataDo: aBlock

 characterDataOnto: aStream

 expandedName

 key

 tag

 tagName

 value

 value: aValue

 xPath

return the first xPath which uniquely refers to this node.
Going to be obsoleted by xPathAndAlternativesInto:

 xPathAndUpTo: limit alternativesInto: aBlock

generate alternative (shorter) xpathes into aBlock

 = anXmlAttribute

(comment from inherited method)
return true if the receiver and the arg have the same structure.
Notice:
This method is partially open coded (inlined) by the compiler(s)
identical objects are always considered equal.
redefining it may not work as expected.

 hash

(comment from inherited method)
return an Integer useful as a hash key for the receiver.
This hash should return same values for objects with same
contents (i.e. use this to hash on structure)
