 If no attribute type information is provided,

 In Perl binding, the objects implementing the

 [7] The

 [10]  
 The

 of the [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] interface  
 is read-only and of type  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[ElementTypeDefinition]]]].  
 It is the [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[ElementTypeDefinition]]]] node  
 which the [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] node  
 belong to.  
   
 If the [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] node  
 is included in the [CODE(DOMa)@en[[[attributeDefinitions]]]]  
 list of an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[ElementTypeDefinition]]]] node,  
 then the attribute [['''MUST''']] return the  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[ElementTypeDefinition]]]] node.  
 Otherwise, it [['''MUST''']] return [CODE(DOM)@en[[[null]]]].  
   
 ;; This attribute is analogue to the  
 [CODE(DOMa)@en[[[ownerDocumentTypeDefinition]]]] attribute  
 for [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[ElementTypeDefinition]]]],  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[Entity]]]], and [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[Notation]]]]  
 nodes, or the [CODE(DOMa)@en[[[ownerElement]]]]  
 attribute for [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[Attr]]]] nodes.  
   
 ** Attributes  
   
 [5]  
 The [DFN@en[[CODE(DOMa)@en[[[declaredType]]]] attribute]]  
 of an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] object  
 represents the type of the attribute value.  
   
 This attribute is read-write.  
 The type of the attribute is  
 [CODE(IDL)@en[[[unsigned]] [[short]]]].  It is expected  
 that this attribute has a value from the definition group  
 [CODE(DOM)@en[[[DeclaredValueType]]]].  
   
 The getter [['''MUST''']] return a value associated  
 to this attribute.  
   
 The setter [['''MUST''']]  
 throw a [CODE(DOMc)@en[[[NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR]]]]  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[DOMException]]]] if the  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] object is read-only.  
 Otherwise, the setter [['''MUST''']] set the specified  
 value as the value associated to this attribute.  
   
 If a parser create an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]]  
 object, then it [['''MUST''']] set a value  
 from the [CODE(DOM)@en[[[DeclaredValueType]]]]  
 definition group.  
   
 [8]  
 The [DFN@en[[CODE(DOMa)@en[[[defaultType]]]] attribute]]  
 of an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] object  
 represents the type of the attribute default value.  
   
 This attribute is read-write.  
 The type of the attribute is  
 [CODE(IDL)@en[[[unsigned]] [[short]]]].  It is expected  
 that this attribute has a value from the definition group  
 [CODE(DOM)@en[[[DefaultValueType]]]].  
   
 The getter [['''MUST''']] return a value associated  
 to this attribute.  
   
 The setter [['''MUST''']]  
 throw a [CODE(DOMc)@en[[[NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR]]]]  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[DOMException]]]] if the  
 [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]] object is read-only.  
 Otherwise, the setter [['''MUST''']] set the specified  
 value as the value associated to this attribute.  
   
 If a parser create an [CODE(DOMi)@en[[[AttributeDefinition]]]]  
 object, then it [['''MUST''']] set a value  
 from the [CODE(DOM)@en[[[DefaultValueType]]]]  
 definition group.</pre>
