* Object model meta factory. This interface encapsulates a particular Axiom implementation and

* implementation. Currently the two OM implementations provided by Axiom are LLOM (linked list) and
* DOOM (DOM compatible).
*
* The factories returned by {@link #getOMFactory()}, {@link #getSOAP11Factory()} and
* {@link #getSOAP12Factory()} MUST be stateless (and thread safe). The implementation MUST return
* the same instance on every invocation, i.e. instantiate the factory for each OM type only once.
