///
/// A subclass of SdfPropertySpec that holds typed data.
///
/// Attributes are typed data containers that can optionally hold any
/// and all of the following:
/// \li A single default value.
/// \li An array of knot values describing how the value varies over time.
/// \li A dictionary of posed values, indexed by name.
///
/// The values contained in an attribute must all be of the same type.  In the
/// Python API the \c typeName property holds the attribute type.  In the C++
/// API, you can get the attribute type using the GetTypeName() method.  In
/// addition, all values, including all knot values, must be the same shape.
/// For information on shapes, see the VtShape class reference in the C++
/// documentation.
