Attr interface represents an attribute in an Element object. Typically, the allowable values for the attribute are defined in a schema associated with the document. Attr objects are not considered as part of the document tree since they are not actually child nodes of the element they describe. Thus for the child nodes parentNode, previousSibling and nextSibling the attribute value is null.
