/**
 * Represents an XML Document containing a tree of DataObjects.
 * 
 * An example XMLDocument fragment is:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * created from this XML Schema fragment:
 * 
 *   
 *   
 *
 * Upon loading this XMLDocument:
 *   DataObject is an instance of Type PurchaseOrderType.
 *   RootElementURI is null because the XSD has no targetNamespace URI.
 *   RootElementName is purchaseOrder.
 *   Encoding is null because the document did not specify an encoding.
 *   XMLDeclaration is true because the document contained an XML declaration.
 *   XMLVersion is 1.0
 *   SchemaLocation and noNamespaceSchemaLocation are null because they are
 *     not specified in the document.
 * 
 * When saving the root element, if the type of the root dataObject is not the
 *   type of global element specified by rootElementURI and rootElementName, 
 *   or if a global element does not exist for rootElementURI and rootElementName,
 *   then an xsi:type declaration is written to record the root DataObject's Type.
 * 
 * When loading the root element and an xsi:type declaration is found
 *   it is used as the type of the root DataObject.  In this case,
 *   if validation is not being performed, it is not an error if the
 *   rootElementName is not a global element.
