/**
 * <p> "EntityReference" implementation (reference to parsed entity).
 * This is a non-core DOM class, supporting the "XML" feature.
 * It does not represent builtin entities (such as "&amp;amp;")
 * or character references, which are always directly expanded in
 * DOM trees.</p>
 *
 * <p> Note that while the DOM specification permits these nodes to have
 * a readonly set of children, this is not required.  Similarly, it does
 * not require a DOM to couple EntityReference nodes with any Entity nodes
 * that have the same entity name (and equivalent children).  It also
 * effectively guarantees that references created directly or indirectly
 * through the <em>Document.ImportNode</em> method will not have children.
 * The level of functionality you may get is extremely variable.
 *
 * <p> Also significant is that even at their most functional level, the fact
 * that EntityReference children must be readonly has caused significant
 * problems when modifying work products held in DOM trees.  Other problems
 * include issues related to undeclared namespace prefixes (and references
 * to the current default namespace) that may be found in the text of such
 * parsed entities nodes.  These must be contextually bound as part of DOM
 * tree construction.  When such nodes are moved, the namespace associated
 * with a given prefix (or default) may change to be in conflict with the
 * namespace bound to the node at creation time.
 *
 * <p> In short, <em>avoid using this DOM functionality</em>.
