 <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding attribute groups</h1>
 <div><p>An attribute group definition is an association between a name
 and a set of attribute declarations. Named groups of attribute declarations
 can greatly facilitate the maintenance and reuse of common attribute declarations
 in an XML schema.</p>
