    1.37 + * Instance of TXmlEngElement class represents an XML element in the DOM tree.
    1.38 + *
    1.39 + * <b>Namespace handling:</b>
    1.40 + *
    1.41 + * Namespace of XML element is an URI that in pair with <i>local part</i> of
    1.42 + * element's name consistute <b>expanded-name</b> of element. It is said that "the element
    1.43 + * is of <i>NNN</i> namespace".
    1.44 + *
    1.45 + * XML elements are shown as belonging to a specific namespace by using <i>prefixes</i>
    1.46 + * that previously were bound to some namespace URIs. The scope of a prefix is the
    1.47 + * element, where it was declared and all its child (sub-)elements.
    1.48 + *      
    1.49 + * Namespace declaration is created by using special <b>xmlns:<i>{prefix-name}</i></b>
    1.50 + * attribute (which is not really considered as attribute in DOM):
    1.51 + * @code 
    1.52 + *    <a xmlns:pr="http://some.uri.com/"> ... </a>
    1.53 + * OR
    1.54 + *    <pr:a xmlns:pr="http://some.uri.com/"> ... </a>
    1.55 + *    <a xmlns="http://some.uri.com/"> ... </a>
    1.56 + * @endcode
    1.57 + *
    1.58 + * The latter two examples are equivalent and show the use of <i>default namespace</i>.
    1.59 + *    
    1.60 + * Implementation notes:
    1.61 + *	- Element having no namespace is either presented with a NULL TXmlEngNamespace node 
    1.62 + *    or a TXmlEngNamespace node that has NULL prefix and namespace URI set to "". 
    1.63 + *    The former is used by default on all nodes, whereas the latter is for cases
    1.64 + *    when some node contains undeclaration of the default namespace:
    1.65 + * @code
    1.66 + *	   <a xmlns=""> .. </a>
    1.67 + * @endcode
    1.68 + *
    1.69 + * - The prefix of the default attribute is NULL, not "" (zero-length string)
    1.70 + *	 "" corresponds to  
    1.71 + *   @code
    1.72 + *       <a xmlns:="http://some.uri.com/"> ... </a>
    1.73 + *   @endcode
    1.74 + *   (it does not contradict XML spec, but you are strongly advised against using this)
    1.75 + *
    1.76 + * - Prefix <b>"xml"</b> is reserved by XML Namespace spec for special purposes; it is implicitly bound
    1.77 + *   to XML's namespace <i>"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"</i> and no one is allowed
    1.78 + *   to use this prefix except as with spec-defined elements and attributes or to rebind this 
    1.79 + *   prefix to other namespaces
    1.80 + *
    1.81 + * - Namespace URI may be "" only for default namespace. In other words,
    1.82 + *   "" namespace URI may not be bound to non-NULL prefix. 
    1.83 + *          
    1.84 + *   Declaration of "" namespace with NULL prefix results in:
    1.85 + *   @code
    1.86 + *       <a xmlns=""> ... </a>
    1.87 + *   @endcode
    1.88 + *   which <i>undeclares</i> any existing (in some parent element) default namespace
    1.89 + *   for the scope of element 'a': element, its attributes and all child nodes of DOM tree.
    1.90 + *   Note, that such "undeclaration" will be added only if neccessary. 
    1.91 + *        
    1.92 + * - Unneccessary namespace declaration are ignored. Attemps to add namespace binding 
    1.93 + *   using same namespace URI and prefix if such binding already exists in the scope
    1.94 + *   will have no effect.
    1.95 + *
    1.96 + * - <b>IMPORTANT!</b> Attributes DO NOT HAVE default namespaces. If an attribute has no
    1.97 + *   prefix, its namespace is <b>undeclared</b> even if there is some default namespaces for
    1.98 + *   the scope of the element, which contains the attribute.
    1.99 + *
   1.100 + * So, it is wrong to write something like this:
   1.101 + * @code
   1.102 + *     <a xmlns="ns_uri"  attr="value"> ... </a>
   1.103 + * @endcode
   1.104 + * and assume that the <b>attr</b> belongs to namespace pointed to with <i>ns_uri</i>.
   1.105 + *    
   1.106 + * <b>HINTS:</b>
   1.107 + * - Use namespace declaration nodes as much as possible (but watch out prefix collisions).
   1.108 + * - Add most referred to namespace declarations (AddNamespaceDeclarationL(uri,pref)) after
   1.109 + *   any other namespace declarations in a element -- the will be found faster in
   1.110 + *   namespace lookups.

   1.660 +     * 
   1.661 +     * Consider an example:
   1.662 +     * @code
   1.663 +     *     TXmlEngElement root = doc.DocumentElement();
   1.664 +     *     TXmlEngNamespace targetNs = root.AddNamespaceDeclarationL("http://example.com/","ex");
   1.665 +     *     TXmlEngElement el_1 = root.AddNewElementL("outer", targetNs);
   1.666 +     *     TXmlEngElement el_2 = el_1.AddNewElementL("inner"); // element without prefix
   1.667 +     * 
   1.668 +     *     // NOTE: prefix "ex" is not bound to "http://example.com/" anymore!
   1.669 +     *     el_2.AddNamespaceDeclarationL("http://whatever.com/","ex");
   1.670 +     *     TXmlEngElement el_3 = el_2.AddNewElementL("problem", targetNs);
   1.671 +     *     ...
   1.672 +     * @endcode
   1.673 +     * 
   1.674 +     * The sought result was (showing expanded names of elements):
   1.675 +     * @code
   1.676 +     *     --> "root"
   1.677 +     *         --> {"http://example.com/","outer"}
   1.678 +     *         --> "inner"
   1.679 +     *             -->{"http://example.com/","problem"}
   1.680 +     *                 ...
   1.681 +     *             <--
   1.682 +     *         <-- "inner"
   1.683 +     *         <-- {"http://example.com/","outer"}
   1.684 +     *         ...
   1.685 +     *     <-- </root>
   1.686 +     * @endcode
   1.687 +     * and it may look that it has been achieved. Indeed, if namespace of element "problem"
   1.688 +     * was queried, it would have URI "http://example.com/" and prefix "ex".
   1.689 +     * However, if namespace URI was looked up by "problem"'s prefix, it would be
   1.690 +     * "http://whatever.com/". We have created illegal DOM tree.
   1.691 +     * 
   1.692 +     * The actual DOM tree in serialized form will be:
   1.693 +     * @code
   1.694 +     *     <root>
   1.695 +     *         <ex:outer xmlns:ex="http://example.com/">
   1.696 +     *             <inner xmlns:ex="http://whatever.com/">
   1.697 +     *                 <ex:problem>
   1.698 +     *                 ...
   1.699 +     *                 </ex:problem>
   1.700 +     *             </inner>

   1.704 +     * @endcode
