/**
 * <code>DTM</code> is an XML document model expressed as a table
 * rather than an object tree. It attempts to provide an interface to
 * a parse tree that has very little object creation. (DTM
 * implementations may also support incremental construction of the
 * model, but that's hidden from the DTM API.)
 *
 * <p>Nodes in the DTM are identified by integer "handles".  A handle must
 * be unique within a process, and carries both node identification and
 * document identification.  It must be possible to compare two handles
 * (and thus their nodes) for identity with "==".</p>
 *
 * <p>Namespace URLs, local-names, and expanded-names can all be
 * represented by and tested as integer ID values.  An expanded name
 * represents (and may or may not directly contain) a combination of
 * the URL ID, and the local-name ID.  Note that the namespace URL id
 * can be 0, which should have the meaning that the namespace is null.
 * For consistancy, zero should not be used for a local-name index. </p>
 *
 * <p>Text content of a node is represented by an index and length,
 * permitting efficient storage such as a shared FastStringBuffer.</p>
 *
 * <p>The model of the tree, as well as the general navigation model,
 * is that of XPath 1.0, for the moment.  The model will eventually be
 * adapted to match the XPath 2.0 data model, XML Schema, and
 * InfoSet.</p>
 *
 * <p>DTM does _not_ directly support the W3C's Document Object
 * Model. However, it attempts to come close enough that an
 * implementation of DTM can be created that wraps a DOM and vice
 * versa.</p>
 *
 * <p><strong>Please Note:</strong> The DTM API is still
 * <strong>Subject To Change.</strong> This wouldn't affect most
 * users, but might require updating some extensions.</p>
 *
 * <p> The largest change being contemplated is a reconsideration of
 * the Node Handle representation.  We are still not entirely sure
 * that an integer packed with two numeric subfields is really the
 * best solution. It has been suggested that we move up to a Long, to
 * permit more nodes per document without having to reduce the number
 * of slots in the DTMManager. There's even been a proposal that we
 * replace these integers with "cursor" objects containing the
 * internal node id and a pointer to the actual DTM object; this might
 * reduce the need to continuously consult the DTMManager to retrieve
 * the latter, and might provide a useful "hook" back into normal Java
 * heap management.  But changing this datatype would have huge impact
 * on Xalan's internals -- especially given Java's lack of C-style
 * typedefs -- so we won't cut over unless we're convinced the new
 * solution really would be an improvement!</p>
