/**
 * XMLElement is a representation of an XML object. The object is able to parse
 * XML code.
 * <P><DL>
 * <DT><B>Parsing XML Data</B></DT>
 * <DD>
 * You can parse XML data using the following code:
 * <UL><CODE>
 * XMLElement xml = new XMLElement();<BR>
 * FileReader reader = new FileReader("filename.xml");<BR>
 * xml.parseFromReader(reader);
 * </CODE></UL></DD></DL>
 * <DL><DT><B>Retrieving Attributes</B></DT>
 * <DD>
 * You can enumerate the attributes of an element using the method
 * {@link #enumerateAttributeNames() enumerateAttributeNames}.
 * The attribute values can be retrieved using the method
 * {@link #getAttribute(java.lang.String) getAttribute}.
 * The following example shows how to list the attributes of an element:
 * <UL><CODE>
 * XMLElement element = ...;<BR>
 * Enumeration enum = element.enumerateAttributeNames();<BR>
 * while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {<BR>
 * &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String key = (String) enum.nextElement();<BR>
 * &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;String value = (String) element.getAttribute(key);<BR>
 * &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;System.out.println(key + " = " + value);<BR>
 * }
 * </CODE></UL></DD></DL>
 * <DL><DT><B>Retrieving Child Elements</B></DT>
 * <DD>
 * You can enumerate the children of an element using
 * {@link #enumerateChildren() enumerateChildren}.
 * The number of child elements can be retrieved using
 * {@link #countChildren() countChildren}.
 * </DD></DL>
 * <DL><DT><B>Elements Containing Character Data</B></DT>
 * <DD>
 * If an elements contains character data, like in the following example:
 * <UL><CODE>
 * &lt;title&gt;The Title&lt;/title&gt;
 * </CODE></UL>
 * you can retrieve that data using the method
 * {@link #getContent() getContent}.
 * </DD></DL>
 * <DL><DT><B>Subclassing XMLElement</B></DT>
 * <DD>
 * When subclassing XMLElement, you need to override the method
 * {@link #createAnotherElement() createAnotherElement}
 * which has to return a new copy of the receiver.
 * </DD></DL>
