	  The meaning of the attribute
	  value depends on the attribute itself. In general, the values
	  can be of several types:
	
	
	  
		
String	  
	  
		Any string of characters except newline.
	  
	  
		
String List	  
	  
		A sequence of strings separated by whitespace. Individual
		strings within the list cannot be quoted and therefore
		cannot contain whitespace.
	  
	  
		
Quoted String List	  
	  
		A sequence of strings separated by whitespace. Individual
		strings within the list may be quoted using single or double
		quotes. The quotes are needed when the individual strings
		contain whitespace. If you want a quote mark or a backslash
		to be inserted as-is into a string, you must preceed it with
		a backslash.
	  
	  
	        
Pattern List	  
	  
	        A sequence of patterns separated by whitespace. Normal
	        strings are considered patterns to be matched
	        exactly. Strings surrounded by [ and ] are considered
	        regular expressions (ignoring the outer [] characters).
	  
	  
		
Number	  
	  
		A string that represents a number. The attribute determines
		if the number has to be a pure integer or if it can be a
		floating point number.
	  
	  
		
Boolean	  
	  
		A string that represents a truth value. Acceptable truth
		values are given below.
		 For 
true:
		
		  
			yes
		  
		  
			true
		  
		  
			1
		  
		
		For 
false:
		
		  
			no
		  
		  
			false
		  
		  
			0
