/**
 * Defines a table layout for {@link XmlSaxDataContext}. This class is used as
 * an instruction set of xpath expressions for the datacontext to create
 * {@link Table}s.
 * 
 * These types of expressions are allowed in the {@link XmlSaxTableDef}:
 * 
 * 
 * Element selectors: "/path/to/element"
 * Attribute selectors: "/path/to/element@attribute"
 * Element index selectors: "index(/path/to)" (can be used to make
 * cross-references to parent tags)
 * 
 * 
 * If, for example, this is your XML document:
 * 
 *  * <root>
 * 	<organization type="company">
 * 		<name>Company A</name>
 * 		<employees>
 * 			<employee>
 * 				<name>John Doe</name>
 * 				<gender>M</gender>
 * 			</employee>
 * 			<employee>
 * 				<name>Jane Doe</name>
 * 				<gender>F</gender>
 * 			</employee>
 * 		</employees>
 * 	</organization>
 * 	<organization type="government">
 * 		<name>Company B</name>
 * 		<employees>
 * 			<employee>
 * 				<name>Susan</name>
 * 				<gender>F</gender>
 * 			</employee>
 * 		</employees>
 * 	</organization>
 * </root>
 * 
 * 
 * Then if you wanted to extract information about organizations, these xpaths
 * could work:
 * 
 * Organization row scope: "/root/organization"
 * Organization name: "/root/organization/name"
 * Organization type: "/root/organization@type"
 * 
 * 
 * Or if you wanted to extract information about employees:
 * 
 * Employee row scope: "/root/organization/employees/employee"
 * Employee name: "/root/organization/employees/employee/name"
 * Employee gender: "/root/organization/employees/employee/gender"
 * Employee organization index: "index(/root/organization)"
 *
