/** @brief Hold attribute data for a DAP2 dataset.

    The Data Attribute Structure is a set of name-value pairs used to
    describe the data in a particular dataset. The name-value pairs are
    called the ``attributes''. The values may be of any of the DAP2 simple
    data types (Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Float32, Float64, String
    and URL), and may be scalar or vector. Note that all values are actually
    stored as String data, making the easy to read/check using a web browser.

    A value may also consist of a set of other name-value pairs.  This
    makes it possible to nest collections of attributes, giving rise
    to a hierarchy of attributes.  DAP2 uses this structure to provide
    information about variables in a dataset.  For example, consider
    the dataset used in the DDS example earlier.

    In the following example of a DAS, several of the attribute
    collections have names corresponding to the names of variables in
    the DDS example.  The attributes in that collection are said to
    belong to that variable.  For example, the <tt>lat</tt> variable has an
    attribute ``units'' of ``degrees_north''.

    <pre>
    Attributes {
        GLOBAL {
            String title "Reynolds Optimum Interpolation (OI) SST";
        }
        lat {
            String units "degrees_north";
            String long_name "Latitude";
            Float64 actual_range 89.5, -89.5;
        }
        lon {
            String units "degrees_east";
            String long_name "Longitude";
            Float64 actual_range 0.5, 359.5;
        }
        time {
            String units "days since 1-1-1 00:00:00";
            String long_name "Time";
            Float64 actual_range 726468., 729289.;
            String delta_t "0000-00-07 00:00:00";
        }
        sst {
            String long_name "Weekly Means of Sea Surface Temperature";
            Float64 actual_range -1.8, 35.09;
            String units "degC";
            Float64 add_offset 0.;
            Float64 scale_factor 0.0099999998;
            Int32 missing_value 32767;
        }
    }
    </pre>

    Attributes may have arbitrary names, although in most datasets it
    is important to choose these names so a reader will know what they
    describe.  In the above example, the ``GLOBAL'' attribute provides
    information about the entire dataset.

    Data attribute information is an important part of the the data
    provided to a DAP2 client by a server, and the DAS is how this
    data is packaged for sending (and how it is received).

    The DAS class is simply a sequence of attribute tables and names.
    It may be thought of as the top level of the attribute hierarchy.
