  You're confused, this is used to validate an 
   <!ATTR
declaration in a DTD. an xmlAttributePtr is not a pointer to an
attribute on an element but a pointer to an attribute declaration
on a DTD.

  The function doing some of it is xmlValidateOneAttribute(), but attribute
validity also mean that all required attributes must be present and that
won't cover it.
