It is not an XML element, it is not a declaration, and it is not a
definition.
It is an element type declaration followed by an attribute-list declaration.
The attribute-list declaration in this case consists of a single attribute
definition.
I don't think that the XML specification makes any subtle distinction
between the words "declaration" and "definition", but I may be wrong.
Internally however its terminology is consistent.
