/**

 * ("Doc" is a short, easy-to-pronounce term that means "a piece of print
 * data.") The client may include a DocAttribute in a <code>Doc</code>'s
 * attribute set to specify a characteristic of
 * that doc. If an attribute implements {@link PrintRequestAttribute
 * PrintRequestAttribute} as well as DocAttribute, the client may include the
 * attribute in a attribute set which specifies a print job
 * to specify a characteristic for all the docs in that job.
