/**
 * A representation of the SOAP header element. A SOAP header
 *   element consists of XML data that affects the way the
 *   application-specific content is processed by the message
 *   provider. For example, transaction semantics, authentication
 *   information, and so on, can be specified as the content of a
 *   SOAPHeader object.
 *
 *   A SOAPEnvelope object contains an empty 
 *   SOAPHeader object by default. If the 
 *   SOAPHeader object, which is optional, is not needed, it
 *   can be retrieved and deleted with the following line of code.
 *   The variable se is a SOAPEnvelope
 *   object.
 *  *     se.getHeader().detachNode();
 * 
 *   A SOAPHeader object is created with the 
 *   SOAPEnvelope method addHeader. This method,
 *   which creates a new header and adds it to the envelope, may be
 *   called only after the existing header has been removed.
 *  *     se.getHeader().detachNode();
 *     SOAPHeader sh = se.addHeader();
 * 
 *
 *   A SOAPHeader object can have only 
 *   SOAPHeaderElement objects as its immediate children. The
 *   method addHeaderElement creates a new 
 *   HeaderElement object and adds it to the 
 *   SOAPHeader object. In the following line of code, the
 *   argument to the method addHeaderElement is a
 *   Name object that is the name for the new 
 *   HeaderElement object.
 *  *     SOAPHeaderElement shElement = sh.addHeaderElement(name);
 *
