question: public boolean addAttributeAlways ( String uri , String localName , String rawName , String type , String value , boolean XSLAttribute ) { boolean was_added ; int index ; if ( localName == null || uri == null || uri . length ( ) == 0 ) index = m_attributes . getIndex ( rawName ) ; else { index = m_attributes . getIndex ( uri , localName ) ; } if ( index >= 0 ) { m_attributes . setValue ( index , value ) ; was_added = false ; } else { m_attributes . addAttribute ( uri , localName , rawName , type , value ) ; was_added = true ; } return was_added ; }
target:  Adds the given attribute to the set of attributes, even if there is no currently open element. This is useful if a SAX startPrefixMapping() should need to add an attribute before the element name is seen.
