/**
 * NodeImpl provides the basic structure of a DOM tree. It is never used
 * directly, but instead is subclassed to add type and data
 * information, and additional methods, appropriate to each node of
 * the tree. Only its subclasses should be instantiated -- and those,
 * with the exception of Document itself, only through a specific
 * Document's factory methods.
 * <P>
 * The Node interface provides shared behaviors such as siblings and
 * children, both for consistancy and so that the most common tree
 * operations may be performed without constantly having to downcast
 * to specific node types. When there is no obvious mapping for one of
 * these queries, it will respond with null.
 * Note that the default behavior is that children are forbidden. To
 * permit them, the subclass ParentNode overrides several methods.
 * <P>
 * NodeImpl also implements NodeList, so it can return itself in
 * response to the getChildNodes() query. This eliminiates the need
 * for a separate ChildNodeList object. Note that this is an
 * IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL; applications should _never_ assume that
 * this identity exists.
 * <P>
 * All nodes in a single document must originate
 * in that document. (Note that this is much tighter than "must be
 * same implementation") Nodes are all aware of their ownerDocument,
 * and attempts to mismatch will throw WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR.
 * <P>
 * However, to save memory not all nodes always have a direct reference
 * to their ownerDocument. When a node is owned by another node it relies
 * on its owner to store its ownerDocument. Parent nodes always store it
 * though, so there is never more than one level of indirection.
 * And when a node doesn't have an owner, ownerNode refers to its
 * ownerDocument.
 * <p>
 * This class doesn't directly support mutation events, however, it still
 * implements the EventTarget interface and forward all related calls to the
 * document so that the document class do so.

        //    aren't really 'in the tree'
        //

        //    they they are the attribute node itself, unless the 2 nodes
        //    are both children of the same attribute.

     * whether the two nodes are references to the same object) which can be
     * tested with <code>Node.isSameNode</code>. All nodes that are the same
     * will also be equal, though the reverse may not be true.
     * <br>Two nodes are equal if and only if the following conditions are
     * satisfied: The two nodes are of the same type.The following string
     * attributes are equal: <code>nodeName</code>, <code>localName</code>,
     * <code>namespaceURI</code>, <code>prefix</code>, <code>nodeValue</code>
     * , <code>baseURI</code>. This is: they are both <code>null</code>, or
     * they have the same length and are character for character identical.
     * The <code>attributes</code> <code>NamedNodeMaps</code> are equal.
     * This is: they are both <code>null</code>, or they have the same
     * length and for each node that exists in one map there is a node that
     * exists in the other map and is equal, although not necessarily at the
     * same index.The <code>childNodes</code> <code>NodeLists</code> are
     * equal. This is: they are both <code>null</code>, or they have the
     * same length and contain equal nodes at the same index. This is true
     * for <code>Attr</code> nodes as for any other type of node. Note that
     * normalization can affect equality; to avoid this, nodes should be
     * normalized before being compared.
     * <br>For two <code>DocumentType</code> nodes to be equal, the following
     * conditions must also be satisfied: The following string attributes
     * are equal: <code>publicId</code>, <code>systemId</code>,
     * <code>internalSubset</code>.The <code>entities</code>
     * <code>NamedNodeMaps</code> are equal.The <code>notations</code>
     * <code>NamedNodeMaps</code> are equal.
     * <br>On the other hand, the following do not affect equality: the
     * <code>ownerDocument</code> attribute, the <code>specified</code>
     * attribute for <code>Attr</code> nodes, the
     * <code>isWhitespaceInElementContent</code> attribute for
     * <code>Text</code> nodes, as well as any user data or event listeners
     * registered on the nodes.
     * @param arg The node to compare equality with.
     * @param deep If <code>true</code>, recursively compare the subtrees; if
     *   <code>false</code>, compare only the nodes themselves (and its
