/**
 * <code>Defs</code> are used as placeholders where proxied <tt>ModelNode</tt>
 * can be stored for reference by <tt>ElementNodeProxy</tt> instances.
 * <br />
 * Note that according to the SVG 1.1 DTD, <tt><defs></tt> should be 
 * <tt>StructureNode</tt>.
 * However, we should not apply <tt>GraphicsNode</tt> and 
 * <tt>TextNode</tt> properties on <tt><defs></tt> as it 
 * is useless: <tt><defs></tt> content is never rendered directly, 
 * so properties set on defs are _never_ inherited by <tt><defs></tt> 
 * children. Therefore, having defs support graphics and text properties is 
 * an oversight in the SVG Tiny specification.
 *
 * Note: There is a JDTS test failure when defs extends ElementNode instead of
 *       StructureNode. This is caused by the fact that in that case it breaks
 *       an inheritance chain from a child to defs's parent.
