 * <p>AttributeList implements the deprecated SAX1 {@link
 * org.xml.sax.AttributeList AttributeList} interface, and has been
 * replaced by the new SAX2 {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl
 * AttributesImpl} interface.</p>
 *
 * <p>This class provides a convenience implementation of the SAX
 * {@link org.xml.sax.AttributeList AttributeList} interface.  This
 * implementation is useful both for SAX parser writers, who can use
 * it to provide attributes to the application, and for SAX application
 * writers, who can use it to create a persistent copy of an element's
 * attribute specifications:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * private AttributeList myatts;
 *
 * public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
 * {
 *              // create a persistent copy of the attribute list
 *              // for use outside this method
 *   myatts = new AttributeListImpl(atts);
 *   [...]
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Please note that SAX parsers are not required to use this
 * class to provide an implementation of AttributeList; it is
 * supplied only as an optional convenience.  In particular,
 * parser writers are encouraged to invent more efficient
 * implementations.</p>
 *
 * @deprecated This class implements a deprecated interface,
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.AttributeList AttributeList};
 *             that interface has been replaced by
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes Attributes},
 *             which is implemented in the
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl
 *            AttributesImpl} helper class.
