        //   - Methods appear in "methods".
        //   - Events appear in "events".
        //   - "parent" refers to the parent node and "children" is an array of the child nodes.
        // 
        //   - Node prototypes use the JavaScript prototype chain.
        //   - Properties, methods, events, and children may be referenced directly on the node or
        //     within their respective collections by name when there is no conflict with another
        //     attribute.
        //   - Properties support getters and setters that invoke a handler that may influence the
        //     property access.
