Another explanation is that InfoSet which specifies an underlying information
model,
which is "implicitly" related to the info-model behing SGML i.e. Groves.
In this model a node/element has a number of properties which contains data or
other nodes,
but only one of the properties is considered as containing "children", and only
children nodes
have a parent. Since the attribute property is not the children property,
attributes cannot
have a parent (actually parent is also a property).
I can reccommend reading "Addressing the Enterprise: Why the Web needs Groves"
by Paul Prescod. It certainly helped me undrestand InfoSet.
Cheers
