|
|
* In conforming implementations of Element Traversal, all objects that

|
|
* each provides a live reference to another element with the defined

* relationship to the current element, if the related element exists. The

* fifth method, {@link #getChildElementCount}, exposes the number of child
|
|
* elements of an element, for preprocessing before navigation.
