* This class acts as a Buffer for nodes. If it is used as a sequence of
* nodes `Seq[Node]`, it must be ensured that no updates occur after that
* point, because `scala.xml.Node` is assumed to be immutable.
*
* Despite this being a sequence, don't use it as key in a hashtable.
* Calling the hashcode function will result in a runtime error.
