    33  *
       
    34  * <p>This class represents information about an Xml Element from both the element
       
    35  * declaration within a schema and the element instance value within an xml document
       
    36  * with the following properties
       
    37  * <ul>
       
    38  *   <li>element's xml tag <b>{@code name}</b></li>
       
    39  *   <li><b>{@code value}</b> represents the element instance's atttribute(s) and content model</li>
       
    40  *   <li>element declaration's <b>{@code declaredType}</b> ({@code xs:element @type} attribute)</li>
       
    41  *   <li><b>{@code scope}</b> of element declaration</li>
       
    42  *   <li>boolean <b>{@code nil}</b> property. (element instance's <b>{@code xsi:nil}</b> attribute)</li>
       
    43  * </ul>
       
    44  *
       
    45  * <p>The {@code declaredType} and {@code scope} property are the
       
    46  * JAXB class binding for the xml type definition.
       
    47  * </p>
       
    48  *
       
    49  * <p><b>{@code Scope}</b> is either {@link GlobalScope} or the Java class representing the
       
    50  * complex type definition containing the schema element declaration.
       
    51  * </p>
       
    52  *
       
    53  * <p>There is a property constraint that if <b>{@code value}</b> is {@code null},
       
    54  * then {@code nil} must be {@code true}. The converse is not true to enable
       
    55  * representing a nil element with attribute(s). If {@code nil} is true, it is possible
       
    56  * that {@code value} is non-null so it can hold the value of the attributes
       
    57  * associated with a nil element.
