/** The primary dom datatype

<p>The Node interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model. 
It represents a single node in the document tree. While all objects implementing 
the Node interface expose methods for dealing with children, not all objects 
#implementing the Node interface may have children. For example, Text nodes may not 
have children, and adding children to such nodes results in a DOMException being raised.</p>

<p>The attributes nodeName, nodeValue and attributes are included as a mechanism to get at 
node information without casting down to the specific derived interface. In cases where 
there is no obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue 
for an Element or attributes for a Comment ), this returns null. Note that the specialized 
interfaces may contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant 
information.</p>

<p>The values of nodeName, nodeValue, and attributes vary according to the node type as follows:
<table align=left border=1>
<tr><th>Interface </th><th>nodeName </th><th>nodeValue </th><th>attributes</th></tr>
<tr><th>Attr 	                </th><td>name of attribute 	</td><td>value of attribute 	            </td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>CDATASection 	        </th><td>"#cdata-section" 	</td><td>content of the CDATA Section 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>Comment 	            </th><td>"#comment" 	        </td><td>content of the comment          </td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>Document 	            </th><td>"#document" 	    </td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>DocumentFragment        </th><td>"#document-fragment"</td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>DocumentType 	        </th><td>document type name 	</td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>Element 	            </th><td>tag name 	        </td><td>null 	</td><td>NamedNodeMap</td></tr>
<tr><th>Entity 	                </th><td>entity name 	    </td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>EntityReference         </th><td>name of entity referenced 	    </td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>Notation 	            </th><td>notation name 	    </td><td>null 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>ProcessingInstruction   </th><td>target 	            </td><td>entire content excluding the target 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
<tr><th>Text 	                </th><td>"#text" 	        </td><td>content of the text node 	</td><td>null</td></tr>
