+/**
+ * <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>Node.insertBefore</code> and
+ * <code>Node.appendChild</code>.
+ * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>.
