/**
* <code>DTMNodeList</code> gives us an implementation of the DOM's
* NodeList interface wrapped around a DTM Iterator. The author
* considers this something of an abominations, since NodeList was not
* intended to be a general purpose "list of nodes" API and is
* generally considered by the DOM WG to have be a mistake... but I'm
* told that some of the XPath/XSLT folks say they must have this
* solution.
*
* Please note that this is not necessarily equivlaent to a DOM
* NodeList operating over the same document. In particular:
* <ul>
*
* <li>If there are several Text nodes in logical succession (ie,
* across CDATASection and EntityReference boundaries), we will return
* only the first; the caller is responsible for stepping through
* them.
* (%REVIEW% Provide a convenience routine here to assist, pending
* proposed DOM Level 3 getAdjacentText() operation?) </li>
*
* <li>Since the whole XPath/XSLT architecture assumes that the source
* document is not altered while we're working with it, we do not
* promise to implement the DOM NodeList's "live view" response to
* document mutation. </li>
*
* </ul>
*
* <p>State: In progress!!</p>
