Actually the original code is a little odd, as it returns an instance

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.
