 *
 * @brief XML attribute class
 *
 * This class implements an attribute of an XML element. An attribute
 * consists of a name-value pair. There can only be one attribute with a
 * given name. Here an example of an XML element with attributes:
 *
 *     <element type="singleton" name="gamma-ray">
 *
 * The element has two attributes:
 * - @p type has a value of "singleton"
 * - @p name has a value of "gamma-ray"
 *
 * The hyphens are stored together with the attribute value. Allowed hyphens
 * are " and '.
