/**
 * <code>DOMNodeIterators</code> are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g.
 * the set of nodes in a <code>DOMNodeList</code>, the document subtree
 * governed by a particular <code>DOMNode</code>, the results of a query, or
 * any other set of nodes. The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by
 * the implementation of the <code>DOMNodeIterator</code>. DOM Level 2
 * specifies a single <code>DOMNodeIterator</code> implementation for
 * document-order traversal of a document subtree. Instances of these
 * <code>DOMNodeIterators</code> are created by calling
 * <code>DOMDocumentTraversal</code><code>.createNodeIterator()</code>.
 * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification</a>.
