+/**

+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code> is a "lightweight" or "minimal" 

+ * <code>Document</code> object. It is very common to want to be able to 

+ * extract a portion of a document's tree or to create a new fragment of a 

+ * document. Imagine implementing a user command like cut or rearranging a 

+ * document by moving fragments around. It is desirable to have an object 

+ * which can hold such fragments and it is quite natural to use a Node for 

+ * this purpose. While it is true that a <code>Document</code> object could 

+ * fulfill this role, a <code>Document</code> object can potentially be a 

+ * heavyweight object, depending on the underlying implementation. What is 

+ * really needed for this is a very lightweight object. 

+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code> is such an object.

+ * <p>Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as children 

+ * of another <code>Node</code> -- may take <code>DocumentFragment</code> 

+ * objects as arguments; this results in all the child nodes of the 

+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code> being moved to the child list of this node.

+ * <p>The children of a <code>DocumentFragment</code> node are zero or more 

+ * nodes representing the tops of any sub-trees defining the structure of 

+ * the document. <code>DocumentFragment</code> nodes do not need to be 

+ * well-formed XML documents (although they do need to follow the rules 

+ * imposed upon well-formed XML parsed entities, which can have multiple top 

+ * nodes). For example, a <code>DocumentFragment</code> might have only one 

+ * child and that child node could be a <code>Text</code> node. Such a 

+ * structure model represents neither an HTML document nor a well-formed XML 

+ * document.

+ * <p>When a <code>DocumentFragment</code> is inserted into a 

+ * <code>Document</code> (or indeed any other <code>Node</code> that may 

+ * take children) the children of the <code>DocumentFragment</code> and not 

+ * the <code>DocumentFragment</code> itself are inserted into the 

+ * <code>Node</code>. This makes the <code>DocumentFragment</code> very 

+ * useful when the user wishes to create nodes that are siblings; the 

+ * <code>DocumentFragment</code> acts as the parent of these nodes so that 

+ * the user can use the standard methods from the <code>Node</code> 

+ * interface, such as <code>insertBefore</code> and <code>appendChild</code>.

+ * <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>.
