Attributes can only be written on the StaxWriter stream if it points to a START_ELEMENT or an EMPTY_ELEMENT, otherwise the operation fails with an exception; that is, this method can only be called after a startElement, startElementNS, emptyElement, emptyElementNS, or attribute and attributeNS.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the STATUS variable with the appropriate error number.
