/**
* By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors
* encounter when traversing a document are <code>DOMElement</code> nodes.
*
* Assume the following XML document:&lt;elementExample id="demo"&gt;
* &lt;subelement1/&gt;
* &lt;subelement2&gt;&lt;subsubelement/&gt;&lt;/subelement2&gt;
* &lt;/elementExample&gt;
* <p>When represented using DOM, the top node is an <code>DOMElement</code> node
* for "elementExample", which contains two child <code>DOMElement</code> nodes,
* one for "subelement1" and one for "subelement2". "subelement1" contains no
* child nodes.
* <p>Elements may have attributes associated with them; since the
* <code>DOMElement</code> interface inherits from <code>DOMNode</code>, the generic
* <code>DOMNode</code> interface method <code>getAttributes</code> may be used
* to retrieve the set of all attributes for an element. There are methods on
* the <code>DOMElement</code> interface to retrieve either an <code>DOMAttr</code>
* object by name or an attribute value by name. In XML, where an attribute
* value may contain entity references, an <code>DOMAttr</code> object should be
* retrieved to examine the possibly fairly complex sub-tree representing the
* attribute value. On the other hand, in HTML, where all attributes have
* simple string values, methods to directly access an attribute value can
* safely be used as a convenience.
