The attribute type is one of these three choices:

• One of the following strings: "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", or "ENTITIES".
• A parenthesized token group with the separator "|" and all white space removed.
• The word "NOTATION", followed by a space, followed by a parenthesized token group with all white space removed.

Any parameter entities in the attribute value are expanded. General entities are not expanded.
