/**
* <p>
* The <code>Document</code> is a container for text that serves
* as the model for swing text components. The goal for this
* interface is to scale from very simple needs (a plain text textfield)
* to complex needs (an HTML or XML document, for example).
*
* <p><b><font size=+1>Content</font></b>
* <p>
* At the simplest level, text can be
* modeled as a linear sequence of characters. To support
* internationalization, the Swing text model uses
* <a href="http://www.unicode.org/">unicode</a> characters.
* The sequence of characters displayed in a text component is
* generally referred to as the component's <em>content</em>.
* <p>
* To refer to locations within the sequence, the coordinates
* used are the location between two characters. As the diagram
* below shows, a location in a text document can be referred to
* as a position, or an offset. This position is zero-based.
* <p style="text-align:center"><img src="doc-files/Document-coord.gif"
* alt="The following text describes this graphic.">
* <p>
* In the example, if the content of a document is the
* sequence "The quick brown fox," as shown in the preceding diagram,
* the location just before the word "The" is 0, and the location after
* the word "The" and before the whitespace that follows it is 3.
* The entire sequence of characters in the sequence "The" is called a
* <em>range</em>.
* <p>The following methods give access to the character data
* that makes up the content.
* <ul>
* <li>{@link #getLength()}
* <li>{@link #getText(int, int)}
* <li>{@link #getText(int, int, javax.swing.text.Segment)}
* </ul>
* <p><b><font size=+1>Structure</font></b>
* <p>
* Text is rarely represented simply as featureless content. Rather,
* text typically has some sort of structure associated with it.
* Exactly what structure is modeled is up to a particular Document
* implementation. It might be as simple as no structure (i.e. a
* simple text field), or it might be something like diagram below.
* <p style="text-align:center"><img src="doc-files/Document-structure.gif"
* alt="Diagram shows Book->Chapter->Paragraph">
* <p>
* The unit of structure (i.e. a node of the tree) is referred to
* by the <a href="Element.html">Element</a> interface. Each Element
* can be tagged with a set of attributes. These attributes
* (name/value pairs) are defined by the
* <a href="AttributeSet.html">AttributeSet</a> interface.
* <p>The following methods give access to the document structure.
* <ul>
* <li>{@link #getDefaultRootElement()}
* <li>{@link #getRootElements()}
* </ul>
*
* <p><b><font size=+1>Mutations</font></b>
* <p>
* All documents need to be able to add and remove simple text.
* Typically, text is inserted and removed via gestures from
* a keyboard or a mouse. What effect the insertion or removal
* has upon the document structure is entirely up to the
* implementation of the document.
* <p>The following methods are related to mutation of the
* document content:
* <ul>
* <li>{@link #insertString(int, java.lang.String, javax.swing.text.AttributeSet)}
* <li>{@link #remove(int, int)}
* <li>{@link #createPosition(int)}
* </ul>
*
* <p><b><font size=+1>Notification</font></b>
* <p>
* Mutations to the <code>Document</code> must be communicated to
* interested observers. The notification of change follows the event model
* guidelines that are specified for JavaBeans. In the JavaBeans
* event model, once an event notification is dispatched, all listeners
* must be notified before any further mutations occur to the source
* of the event. Further, order of delivery is not guaranteed.
* <p>
* Notification is provided as two separate events,
* <a href="../event/DocumentEvent.html">DocumentEvent</a>, and
* <a href="../event/UndoableEditEvent.html">UndoableEditEvent</a>.
* If a mutation is made to a <code>Document</code> through its api,
* a <code>DocumentEvent</code> will be sent to all of the registered
* <code>DocumentListeners</code>. If the <code>Document</code>
* implementation supports undo/redo capabilities, an
* <code>UndoableEditEvent</code> will be sent
* to all of the registered <code>UndoableEditListener</code>s.
* If an undoable edit is undone, a <code>DocumentEvent</code> should be
* fired from the Document to indicate it has changed again.
* In this case however, there should be no <code>UndoableEditEvent</code>
* generated since that edit is actually the source of the change
* rather than a mutation to the <code>Document</code> made through its
* api.
* <p style="text-align:center"><img src="doc-files/Document-notification.gif"
* alt="The preceding text describes this graphic.">
* <p>
* Referring to the above diagram, suppose that the component shown
* on the left mutates the document object represented by the blue
* rectangle. The document responds by dispatching a DocumentEvent to
* both component views and sends an UndoableEditEvent to the listening
* logic, which maintains a history buffer.
* <p>
* Now suppose that the component shown on the right mutates the same
* document. Again, the document dispatches a DocumentEvent to both
* component views and sends an UndoableEditEvent to the listening logic
* that is maintaining the history buffer.
* <p>
* If the history buffer is then rolled back (i.e. the last UndoableEdit
* undone), a DocumentEvent is sent to both views, causing both of them to
* reflect the undone mutation to the document (that is, the
* removal of the right component's mutation). If the history buffer again
* rolls back another change, another DocumentEvent is sent to both views,
* causing them to reflect the undone mutation to the document -- that is,
* the removal of the left component's mutation.
* <p>
* The methods related to observing mutations to the document are:
* <ul>
* <li><a href="#addDocumentListener(javax.swing.event.DocumentListener)">addDocumentListener(DocumentListener)</a>
* <li><a href="#removeDocumentListener(javax.swing.event.DocumentListener)">removeDocumentListener(DocumentListener)</a>
* <li><a href="#addUndoableEditListener(javax.swing.event.UndoableEditListener)">addUndoableEditListener(UndoableEditListener)</a>
* <li><a href="#removeUndoableEditListener(javax.swing.event.UndoableEditListener)">removeUndoableEditListener(UndoableEditListener)</a>
* </ul>
*
* <p><b><font size=+1>Properties</font></b>
* <p>
* Document implementations will generally have some set of properties
* associated with them at runtime. Two well known properties are the
* <a href="#StreamDescriptionProperty">StreamDescriptionProperty</a>,
* which can be used to describe where the <code>Document</code> came from,
* and the <a href="#TitleProperty">TitleProperty</a>, which can be used to
* name the <code>Document</code>. The methods related to the properties are:
* <ul>
* <li>{@link #getProperty(java.lang.Object)}
* <li>{@link #putProperty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)}
* </ul>
*

* <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc">The Swing Connection</a>
* and most particularly the article,
