Type MetaAttribute

object --+
         |
        MetaAttribute


Each XMLObject type deals with MetaAttributes. In the example below, content and title are MetaAttributes:

>>> class MyXMLObject(XMLObject):
...   content = TextNode('Content') # _XO_content
...   title = StringAttribute()     # _XO_title
...
>>>

MetaAttributes handle value with the XMLObject they're included in. Type checking is done in __set__.
