  29  * Interface {@code DocAttribute} is a tagging interface which a printing
  30  * attribute class implements to indicate the attribute denotes a setting for a
  31  * doc. ("Doc" is a short, easy-to-pronounce term that means "a piece of print
  32  * data.") The client may include a {@code DocAttribute} in a {@code Doc}'s
  33  * attribute set to specify a characteristic of that doc. If an attribute
  34  * implements {@link PrintRequestAttribute PrintRequestAttribute} as well as
  35  * {@code DocAttribute}, the client may include the attribute in a attribute set
  36  * which specifies a print job to specify a characteristic for all the docs in
  37  * that job.
