Remarks

This method checks whether the specified attribute exists on the XML element and returns its value as a string. If the attribute value is originally a number (as the XML parser may return numeric strings as numbers), it is converted to a string to maintain consistency with the DTD specification. If the attribute is missing, an error is thrown to indicate the absence.
