AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute's ctor is protected. As 
background, the reason for this part of the code is to allow for the 
possibility of modularized JDK where the "desktop" module (think 
AWT/Swing and friends) is not installed. Even in that case I don't think 
you can get a reference to these "fake" attributes so the 
serialVersionUID shouldn't matter.
