----------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
 The GraphML specification (http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns/1.1

 /graphml-structure.xsd) states that the possible values for the "for"
 attribute of a key are "all", "graphml", "graph", "node", "edge",
 "hyperedge", "port" and "endpoint".

 (Actually the "graphml" value is absent from the documentation of the
 scheme, but present as a possible value in the .xsd file. I have sent an
 e-mail to the authors of the specification, mentioning this ambiguity.)

 If the value is "graphml", the graphml reader in BGL throws an exception :
 "Attribute for is not valid: graphml".

 This value should be added to the ones accepted by the BGL reader,
 otherwise files such as those produced by the yEd graph editor cannot be
 read.
