 * Under certain circumstances, it is necessary for the binding compiler to 
 * generate derived java content classes that implement this interface.  In 
 * those cases, client applications must supply element instances rather than 
 * types of elements.  For more detail, see section 5.7 "Element Declaration" 
 * and 5.7.1 "Bind to Java Element Interface" of the specification.
