  <P>This DOM interface is implemented by three classes:</P>
  <UL>
    <LI><B>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMImpl</B><BR><BR>
      This is the main DOM class. An instance of this class contains the nodes
      of a <B>single</B> XML document.<BR><BR>
    </LI>
    <LI><B>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.MultiDOM</B><BR><BR>
      This class is best described as a DOM multiplexer. XSLTC was initially
      designed to operate on a single XML document, and the initial DOM and
      the DOM interface were designed and implemented without the
      <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">document()</FONT></CODE> function in mind. This class will allow a translet
      to access multiple DOMs through the original DOM interface.<BR><BR>
    </LI>
    <LI><B>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DOMAdapter</B><BR><BR>
      The DOM adapter is a mediator between a DOMImpl or a MultiDOM object and
      a single translet. A DOMAdapter object contains mappings and reverse
      mappings between node  types in the DOM(s) and node types in the translet.
      This mediator is needed to allow several translets access to a single DOM.
      <BR><BR>
    </LI>
    <LI><B>org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.DocumentCache</B><BR><BR>
      A sample DOM cache (implementing DOMCache) that is used with our sample
      transformation applications.

  <P><I>Figure 1: Main components of the internal DOM</I></P>

  <P>The figure above shows how several translets can access one or more
  internal DOM from a shared pool of cached DOMs. A translet can also access a
  DOM tree outside of a cache. The Stylesheet class that represents the XSL
  stylesheet to compile contains a flag that indicates if the translet uses the
  <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">document()</FONT></CODE> function. The code compiled into the translet will act
  accordingly and instanciate a MultiDOM object if needed (this code is compiled
   in the compiler's <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">Stylesheet.compileTransform()</FONT></CODE> method).</P>

  <P>Text nodes are stored as simple character sequences in the character array
  <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">_text[]</FONT></CODE>. The start and lenght of a node's text can be determined by
  using the node index to look up <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">_offsetOrChild[]</FONT></CODE> and
  <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">_lengthOrAttribute[]</FONT></CODE>.</P>

  <P>We want to re-use character sequences if two or more text nodes have
  identical content. This can be achieved by having two different text node
  indexes map to the same character sequence. The <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">maybeReuseText()</FONT></CODE>
  method is always called before a new character string is stored in the
  <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">_text[]</FONT></CODE> array. This method will locate the offset of an existing
  instance of a character sequence.</P>
