/**
|
|
* <code>EntityReference</code> objects may be inserted into the structure
|
|
* model when an entity reference is in the source document, or when the
|
|
* user wishes to insert an entity reference. Note that character references
|
|
* and references to predefined entities are considered to be expanded by
|
|
* the HTML or XML processor so that characters are represented by their
|
|
* Unicode equivalent rather than by an entity reference. Moreover, the XML
|
|
* processor may completely expand references to entities while building the
|
|
* structure model, instead of providing <code>EntityReference</code>
|
|
* objects. If it does provide such objects, then for a given
|
|
* <code>EntityReference</code> node, it may be that there is no
|
|
* <code>Entity</code> node representing the referenced entity. If such an
|
|
* <code>Entity</code> exists, then the subtree of the
|
|
* <code>EntityReference</code> node is in general a copy of the
|
|
* <code>Entity</code> node subtree. However, this may not be true when an
|
|
* entity contains an unbound namespace prefix. In such a case, because the
|
|
* namespace prefix resolution depends on where the entity reference is, the
|
|
* descendants of the <code>EntityReference</code> node may be bound to
|
|
* different namespace URIs.
|
|
* <p>As for <code>Entity</code> nodes, <code>EntityReference</code> nodes and
|
|
* all their descendants are readonly.
|
|
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification</a>.
