Another page that contains some information is http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html which appears to list all XML attributes for all elements. Unfortunately, this list doesn't include any information about which elements the attribute goes with. Thickness attribute, for example, is meant to be used with <shape anroid:shape="ring" android:thickness="3.5sp"> and it doesn't make much sense in a LinearLayout element <LinearLayout android:thickness="3.5sp">.
Note: To avoid confusion I am still searching for an answer if anyone has one. I'm just trying to keep this thread updated on what I learn in case someone else ends up googling for XML Documentation like I did.
