/**
* EXPERIMENTAL and subject to change. Do not use this in production code.
*
* A simple {@link Element} implementation (not an actual dom
* object) that can serve as stand in to be used by {@link IsRenderable} widgets
* before they are fully built. For example, it can accumulate simple set*()
* values to be used when the widget is actually ready to render. Thus, most
* {@link IsRenderable} widget code can be written without taking into account
* whether or not the widget has yet been rendered.
*
* {@link DOM#appendChild} is aware of PotentialElement, and calls its
* resolve() method. This triggers a call to
* {@link UIObject#resolvePotentialElement()}, which widgets can customize
* to get a real {@link Element} in place at the last moment.
*
* TODO(rdcastro): Cover all unsupported methods with helpful error messages.
