	/// by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration
	/// of the contents of a NamedNodeMap, and does not imply that the DOM specifies
	/// an order to these Nodes.
	///
	/// NamedNodeMap objects in the DOM are live.

	/// A NamedNodeMap returned from a method must be released with a call to 
	/// release() when no longer needed.
