definitely +1
i suppose also
fe.addAttribute(at);
on the subject of attributes, we had questions on the list a while ago re:getting
attributes.
symmetry sort of says that getters for attributes with setters make sense, and at
least one person needed getters for the common attributes in
org.apache.ecs.html.Option at least.
on the other hand, providing getters for only some (and not all) attributes for
some classes would be a bit funny - but providing getters for all attributes
with setters for all classes doesn't seem worth the candle to me. comments?
