* Creates a new <code>Attribute</code>

+ * @deprecated As of version 1.1, replaced by
+ * {@link #Attribute(URI,String,DateTimeAttribute,AttributeValue)}.
+ * This constructor has some ambiguity in that it allows a
+ * specified datatype and a value that already has some
+ * associated datatype. The new constructor clarifies this
+ * issue by removing the datatype parameter and using the
+ * datatype specified by the given value.
