24/**
25
26 * <code>DTMIterators</code> are used to step through a (possibly
27 * filtered) set of nodes.  Their API is modeled largely after the DOM
28 * NodeIterator.
29 *
30 * <p>A DTMIterator is a somewhat unusual type of iterator, in that it
31 * can serve both single node iteration and random access.</p>
32 *
33 * <p>The DTMIterator's traversal semantics, i.e. how it walks the tree,
34 * are specified when it is created, possibly and probably by an XPath
35 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-LocationPath>LocationPath</a> or
36 * a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-UnionExpr">UnionExpr</a>.</p>
37 *
38 * <p>A DTMIterator is meant to be created once as a master static object, and
39 * then cloned many times for runtime use.  Or the master object itself may
40 * be used for simpler use cases.</p>
41 *
42 * <p>At this time, we do not expect DTMIterator to emulate
43 * NodeIterator's "maintain relative position" semantics under
44 * document mutation.  It's likely to respond more like the
45 * TreeWalker's "current node" semantics. However, since the base DTM
46 * is immutable, this issue currently makes no practical
47 * difference.</p>
48 *
49 * <p>State: In progress!!</p> */
