+/**
+ * <code>AttributeSet</code> is the top-level interface for sets of printing
+ * attributes in the Java Print Service API.
+ * <p>
+ * There are no duplicate values allowed in an attribute set and there is
+ * at most one attribute object contained per category type. Based on the
+ * {@link java.util.Map} interface the values of attribute sets are objects
+ * of type {@link javax.print.attribute.Attribute} and the entries are the
+ * categories as {@link java.lang.Class} instances.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The following specialized types of <code>AttributeSet</code> are available:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>{@link javax.print.attribute.DocAttributeSet}</li>
+ * <li>{@link javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet}</li>
+ * <li>{@link javax.print.attribute.PrintJobAttributeSet}</li>
+ * <li>{@link javax.print.attribute.PrintServiceAttributeSet}</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Attribute sets may be unmodifiable depending on the context of usage. If
+ * used as read-only attribute set modifying operations throw an
+ * {@link javax.print.attribute.UnmodifiableSetException}.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The Java Print Service API provides implementation classes for the existing
+ * attribute set interfaces but applications may use their own implementations.
+ * </p>
