attr_description
attr_description (attr[, element[, doc]])
This function returns the description for attr. Specify element if you want this function to return an element-specific attribute description. If element is omitted, this function returns the description of a global attribute. A null string is returned if attr does not have a description.
* 
If element is specified and there is no element-specific attribute description for attr, this function will return a null string even if a description exists for a global attribute attr.
The doc argument specifies the identifier of the document tree to query. If omitted or 0, the current document is searched.
