Attributes

align	Optional	Choice: left, center, right	Sets the table alignment in relation to its container. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on borders. However, a bug in Internet Explorer 5.5 and below makes it unavoidable sometimes. Note: this attribute has no influence on the cells contents alignement. See x:td for that.
border	Optional	Type: text	Sets the table border width, in pixels. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on borders.
cellpadding	Optional	Type: text	Set the padding for each cell. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on cell formatting.
cellspacing	Optional	Type: text	Set the distance in pixels between cells. This attribute should theoretically be avoided in favour of a style class, but currently (September 2002), most browsers do not have any other mean to control this formatting property.
class	Optional	Type: space-separated XML name tokens	Style class selector. Any valid class name can be input here, as it depends on the set of style sheets you have developed (for HTML classes implementation, see html/eAIP.css in the eAIP Specimen). Several classes can be specified using a space as separator. Note that class names are the same for both HTML and XSL-FO.
frame	Optional	Choice: void, above, below, hsides, lhs, rhs, vsides, box, border	Defines which table borders should be visible. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on borders.
id	Optional	Type: unique ID	Identifier for the element. This must be unique for within an eAIP, which is enforced at validation. The id value can then be used for reference from other elements, as it is the case with the Ref attribute of an e:Abbreviation.
Remarks	Optional	Type: text	Any short remark related to the element. This attribute may be useful for editing purpose. It should not be used for publishing, as it is currently not used by the supplied style sheets.
rules	Optional	Choice: none, groups, rows, cols, all	Defines which cell borders should be visible. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on borders.
summary	Optional	Type: text
title	Optional	Type: text	This attribute allows to provide some more information about the element. It is not always used: check with the style sheets. When it is used in HTML, elements will have their title attribute displayed as a pop-up when the mouse is left over them for a while, much like Abbreviations. It is not yet used in XSL-FO.
Updated	Optional	Choice: Inserted, Deleted, No Default: No	Amendment: Indicates if the element has been updated since the previous AIP issue and how. "Inserted" means the whole element has been inserted; "Deleted" means the whole element has been deleted; if not specified, then there was no update since the previous issue. If only parts of the element are amended, then these parts (i.e. child elements) must be marked as such, not the parent element. When an element is changed, editors must duplicate the element and mark one copy as "Inserted" and the other as "Deleted".
Updated-ref	Optional	Type: ID reference	Reference to the id of an e:Amendment by which the current element is changed. This attribute is relevant only if the Updated attribute is set.
width	Optional	Type: text	Sets the table width.
xml:lang	Optional	Type: XML name token	This is a standard XML attribute, which specifies the language in which the element's content is expressed. The value must be a valid ISO-639 (and ISO-3166, additionally) language code, such as "en" for English, "fr" for French and "de-CH" for Swiss German. When used on the root element, this attribute sets the default language for the entire eAIP. On any other element, it overrides the default (or the parent) language, so that the element can be presented differently (using appropriate XSLT code) or in order to apply selective process to it, such as spell-checking in the right language.
xmlns:e	Fixed	http://www.eurocontrol.int/xmlns/AIM/eAIP	This namespace node defines the "e" namespace, which groups all eAIP specific elements. For more information, refer to the W3C's document Namespaces in XML. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
xmlns:x	Fixed	http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml	This namespace node defines the "x" namespace, which groups all XHTML elements. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
xmlns:xlink	Fixed	http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink	This namespace node defines the "xlink" namespace. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
