Attribute. This class implements a configuration attribute value holder. A configuration attribute is defined by an AttributeDefinition. An attribute contains an optional value (or defers to its AttributeDefinition for the default value). It is possible to determine whether a value has been changed with respect to its initial value. An Attribute remains modifiable until it is protected. At which point it can only be modified if its AttributeDefinition allows it to be mutable. Additionally it is possible to register listeners when values change so that code can react to these changes.

    Compares this attribute to another attribute taking into account the AttributeDefinition.isGlobal() flag. If the attribute is global, then this method will return true only if the values are identical. If the attribute is local, then this method will return true even if the values don't match. Essentially, this method only ensures that the attribute definitions are equals.
