[Community] OWSLib - Access WMS attribution info

[David Winslow]

Hi all,

For a project I'm working on, I'd like to access the Attribution field 
on some layers in a WMS capabilities document.  I'd love to use OWSLib 
(looks like it would be a lot easier to use than parsing the XML 
directly), but when I try to retrieve the Attribution I just get an 
empty string (or None if there is no attribution for the layer.)  I was 
expecting an object with the title, logo URL, and link for the Attribution.

Digging into the code a bit I see that Attribution is parsed in exactly 
the same way as Name and Title, so it will always be a string.  Would it 
be reasonable to change this to an object or dictionary with the fields 
I mentioned above?

I would be happy to put together a patch if there's interest.
