possible to create attributes of type H5T_REGION_OBJ.

Hi All,

I see its possible to use H5T_REGION_OBJ as 'type' in a dataset creation
call. Can same be done for attributes? My inclanation is 'no' but I
don't see anything specifically saying it is or is NOT supported.

  It is definitely supported. Attributes can have any datatype that datasets can have.

What is H5T_REGION_OBJ? The only mention I can find of it is in the
user guide, and I thought the H5T_STD_REF_OBJ and H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG
were the proper types for references.

I found that in the pseudocode describing its use in the user's manual,

It is a bug in UG. Noted.

Thank you!
