* An opaque handle to a native DOM Element. An Element cannot be
* created directly. Instead, use the Element type when returning
* a native DOM element from JSNI methods. An Element passed back
* into JSNI becomes the original DOM element the Element was
* created from, and can be accessed in JavaScript code as expected. This is
* typically done by calling methods in the
* {@link com.google.gwt.user.client.DOM} class.
*
* As of GWT 2.6, users should use {@link com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element}
* instead. As an exception, some methods still return a Element
* object for backwards compatibility (though this will change in a future
* release), so overriding them will require returning an Element
* object too.
