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