/**
 * Filters are objects that know how to "filter out" nodes. If a
 * <code>NodeIterator</code> or <code>TreeWalker</code> is given a
 * <code>NodeFilter</code>, it applies the filter before it returns the next
 * node. If the filter says to accept the node, the traversal logic returns
 * it; otherwise, traversal looks for the next node and pretends that the
 * node that was rejected was not there.
 * <p>The DOM does not provide any filters. <code>NodeFilter</code> is just an
 * interface that users can implement to provide their own filters.
 * <p><code>NodeFilters</code> do not need to know how to traverse from node
 * to node, nor do they need to know anything about the data structure that
 * is being traversed. This makes it very easy to write filters, since the
 * only thing they have to know how to do is evaluate a single node. One
 * filter may be used with a number of different kinds of traversals,
 * encouraging code reuse.
 * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification</a>.
