/**
 * <code>DTMNodeList</code> gives us an implementation of the DOM's
 * NodeList interface wrapped around a DTM Iterator. The author
 * considers this something of an abominations, since NodeList was not
 * intended to be a general purpose "list of nodes" API and is
 * generally considered by the DOM WG to have be a mistake... but I'm
 * told that some of the XPath/XSLT folks say they must have this
 * solution.
 *
 * Please note that this is not necessarily equivlaent to a DOM
 * NodeList operating over the same document. In particular:
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>If there are several Text nodes in logical succession (ie,
 * across CDATASection and EntityReference boundaries), we will return
 * only the first; the caller is responsible for stepping through
 * them.
 * (%REVIEW% Provide a convenience routine here to assist, pending
 * proposed DOM Level 3 getAdjacentText() operation?) </li>
 *
 * <li>Since the whole XPath/XSLT architecture assumes that the source
 * document is not altered while we're working with it, we do not
 * promise to implement the DOM NodeList's "live view" response to
 * document mutation. </li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>State: In progress!!</p>
