XMLAttributesIteratorImpl

public class XMLAttributesIteratorImpl extends XMLAttributesImpl implements Iterator
Its better to extend the functionality of existing XMLAttributesImpl and also make it of type Iterator. We can directly give an object of type iterator from StartElement event. We should also have Attribute object of type javax.xml.stream.Attribute internally. It would avoid the need of creating new javax.xml.stream.Attribute object at the later stage. Should we change XMLAttributes interface to implement Iteraotr ? I think its better avoid touching XNI as much as possible. - NB.
