bool
True if the attribute is explicitly specified; false if the attribute is derived from a default value.
Remarks
If you change the value of the attribute (even if it has the same value as the default value) then this property is automatically set to true. To re-specify the attribute as the default value from the DTD, you must delete the attribute. The implementation will then make a new attribute available with this property set to false and the default value (if one exists).
